PS Audio Ultimate Outlet. Does it work well on amps?

I currently use a PS Audio Power Plant 300 for my source equipments. I am thinking about adding an Ultimate Outlet for my amp. Does anyone have experience with this product? I am somewhat hesitatant to use a line conditioner for my amp, as I have found that many don't necessarily make the amp sound better than having it connected straight to the ac outlet on the wall. Any insight you can share will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You mean you need a good set of power cords before the outlet as well as after?

In my case, it's before the UO and plugged into the outlet. The PC shipped with the UO 20 AMP seems to restrict the power needs of Audio Research VT-200. VT-200 PC is not changeable. BTW, the power port seems to work well -- better than the one that the contractor bought for me :-).

Yes, you need good cables before and after the UO. That's where DIY can really pay off!

I have a PSA UO 20amp, that I use for front end kit to my AV system. On my main 2 channel rig I have a dedicated line, and a Core Power 1800, purchaes to plug everything into, but the amp sounds audibly better plugged direct into the wall, which has an upgraded duplex
