Quality PC: plug into wall socket or conditioner??

I have a Acoustic Zen Tsumani Plus power cable. I have used it almost exclusively with a preamp and now an integrated amp

My question is: Will quality "aftermarket" PC's work better plugged directly into a wall socket or a power line conditioner?? (I use an Audio Prism conditioner which is 20 years old)

I have heard pros/and cons over the years Would like some advice on this issue. All comments welcomed!!! Jimbo

Well, since you have the aftermarket power cord and the power line conditioner, you could try it both ways and decide for yourself.

This hobby is so subjective, with synergy and personal tastes amounting for so many differences of opinions, that the only way to know what works best for you is to do the experimenting for yourself.

I just plugged my amp and preamp into the wall, after having both in power conditioner, and found the wall was surprisingly better. Same result with my integrated amp. Told two audiophile friends who did the same and much preferred the wall. I still have my digital and analog sources plugged into the conditioner.
