Direct lines and adding a power conditioner

I have 5 direct lines with audiophile receptacles - Maestro, Oyaide R1 and Teslaplex. The direct lines come from a secondary electrical panel on the other side of the wall as the receptacles, so the 10 gauge romex wire is only a few feet long for each run.
I have tried a couple of power conditioners between the direct lines and equipment, but they have suppressed the dynamics. I was wondering has anyone used any type of power conditioner that would help the articulation and naturalness of the sound without any negative effects to the overall presentation?
thanks.

lol!, you do not ever need a power conditioner if you have a dedicated ground for your lines, thats for people that do not know any better!

Additional ideas that are passive, no compression:

Mapleshaderecords.com Power Strip(s)

Machinadynamica.com Flying Saucers for unoccupied wall outlets, especially the one adjacent to the power strip

I currently use both, and each product is affordable. Although so simple appearing as to be visually unimpressive, there is a profound unveiling of the sound potential of a system.

Each website's advertising copy makes mighty claims for everything being sold. Don't be put off by what may at first seem to be hyperbole. I think you will be pleased with what you hear.

Audiolabyrinth,
Interesting, a lot of audiophiles have power conditioners with their dedicates lines.
