Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner

The Triton is built different than all others. There are no capacitors, no transformers, no MOV's which interact with an amp. Look it up on Shunyata's web site or better than that, try one yourself. I can only recall one piece ever offered on the Gon, so new may be the only option.

I think the Shunyata Triton is a bit of a stretch at $5k considering it would be an equal financial investment to the rest of my stereo gear combined, actually more. I would be interested to hear the difference, however.

Straight into the wall. Lose the plugs and fancy power cables while you're at it and run direct from panel to kit. (disclaimer -only if you know what you are doing)

The Cable Company should have a Triton to lend out for demo.

Powersupply conditioners are usually ok for equipment have regulated power supplies, sources like cdp's, phono stages, preamps tuners T/T etc;

But for most poweramp/s their output stages are not powered by regulated supplies, they're just rectified, these supplies need to be "stiff" (low esr) right back to the mains, and by introducing a power conditioner, they usually no longer remain "stiff" and the bass tightness will suffer in most cases, and sometimes the dynamics as well.

Only one poweramp I can think of that had a regulated supply for it's output stage, was the Naim 250, I'm sure there are a couple of others, maybe the big Halcro poweramp for memory as well.
