Amplifier is now off the Power Conditioner


Yesterday, I replaced the wall outlet that my audio system uses to eliminate the switch on the bottom plug. Until now my tube amplifier had been plugged into the amplifier plug on my power conditioner, but now it is connected to the second plug via a basic surge protector.

I have b read that power conditioners are restrictive for amplifiers, but my first impression tonight was "wow". I doubt the wall outlet made the difference and it is possible that it was a good audio night (sometimes things just sound better for no known reason) so I will have to remain open minded for now.

It seemed that things are more clear, almost edgy, and the bass tightened up.

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.
