I had a similar concern late last year when I first got my Blue Circle MR1200 Music Ring.
I'd been using Virtual Dynamics Audition Power Cords for a couple years and they helped create an open, holographic sound.
I ordered the Music Ring with a Blue Circle BC62 Power Cord to connect it to the wall, with all components hooked to the MR1200 via the VD cords.
I was apprehensive that the BC62 might not be as open as the VD cables or that the Music Ring might reduce dynamics or that the VD cables might conflict in some way with the Music Ring.
It turns out that the whole mix works quite well. Soundstaging has opened up in width and depth. My perception is that I can see further into the presentation without any loss of warmth or musicality. The only negative I've noticed is that large scale attacks seem slightly less dynamic with the power amp plugged into the Music Ring.
I plan to conduct an A/B test as to whether it makes a difference if the amp sounds freer hooked directly to the wall or suffers no loss of oomph plugged into the Music Ring. We'll see.
I don't know enough about power conditioning or each manufacturer's approach to filtering to know which cords and conditioners might work well together. I just experiment.
Have fun!
