Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner

I have a BPT BP-1 and a Furman P-2400 IT, both balanced power conditioners. My system typically draws 3.5 amps if I use my 300b amp. (my system draws almost 9 watts with my OTL amp!).

Last week, I plugged my entire system, with the 300b amp, into each power conditioner to hear the difference. With the BP-1, which has an 8.5 amp continuous rating, the sound was nice, but it seemed a bit restrained. With the Furman, which has a 20 amp rating, I experienced what Charles described.

The BP-1 works great with source components and preamps. I would not use it with an amplifier.

Thanks Charles and Thaluza for the input. BPT at the top of my list, with the noted restrictions.

Still haven't cocncluded if power treatment should be my next significant upgrade, but I will keep it in my notes.

Looking at Thaluza's experience.
I would put the Furman P-2400 IT at the top of your list, as your MC275 will draw even more current that a S.E.300b

Thaluza,
You make a good point. I should have mentioned that my BPT 3.5
Signature uses a large heavy duty 20 amp transformer (their largest model).
That's why it easily handled all three of my amplifiers. I believe that
balanced AC power is an asset for better sound quality. BPT, does offer a
variety of ampere ratings in their model's transformers depending on need.
Charles,

I run tubes monoblocks and tried different conditionner active and passive ones. The best in my system were Lessloss Firewall (first version). I sold it to a Swiss guy who replaced a Blue Circle . The Swiss was not self assured it could be better as he was happy with the BC...sometimes audiophiles are strange people that want what is very good to be bettered. He was so happy with the Lessloss he wrote me back to thank me.
I briefly tried Acoustic Revive RTP2 and found it in the same league as the Firewall, but only 2 outlets.
I made the gap when I bought the Bybee Stealth that blows everything I tried until then. Recently I changed again in trading in the Stealth for the Bybee Holographic and the gap is enough to make me happy.
I think the new AC modules make a huge diference. The whole reproduction of music is in one word : "Purer" more natural less hifi and more involving about only music.
