Amp Power Conditioner or not?


I was moving some equipment around and plugged my amp - MF NuVista M3 w/ Nordost El Dorado cable - directly into the wall for what I thought would be a few minutes. To my surprise it sounds better. More open, smoother, less conjested, more three-dimentional. I think I'm going to leave it that way.

Anyone else have the same experience?

All I will say if you can even Home audition a Torus,
I quite confident,you won't want to take her back.
They are that good and the improvements are Superb.
They are pricey,but for MUSIC they are well worth it.
I have tried a few others,one that everybody knows and the Torus leaves it way behind.
Some of them will let you have the 15a or 20a from the wall,
the Torus will give you 50-400a(short term)when the amps want
it).That makes a HUGE difference the way the music is played.
If it came to selling a component or amp,I'd sell those and keep my Torus(s),they're that good.
It's free to audition and then you will know.
Here's my experience in brief... To paraphrase what Rrog said, if you want true power conditioning get a generator; nothing else comes close or completely solves the problem, not even so-called dedicated lines, unless you are wired directly from a separate winding in the utility's power transformer - something that doesn't usually happen.

I do plug in my amps to a power "conditioner" - an MIT Z Stabilizer - but it's because they employ parallel conditioning, which can still get in the way, despite the fact that all they do is convert some line noise to heat. So how can it get in the way? Simply, the parallel circuits alter the line impedance, therefore amps may or may not be immune to that. The MIT Z Stabilizer that I use also touts impedance stabilization, which in electrical engineering is a good thing - this was the critical question for me, not the fact that it also reduces line noise (which most such products do, but with all kinds of other ill effects).

In the end, the result is positive with this product and these amps, and this statement cannot be generalized. Bottom line: unless you have a real problem, plug them directly to the wall. Otherwise, prepare to experiment a lot, and I would avoid anything that offers in-series circuits, including isolation transformers.
Excuse me , but I have to jump in here. I'm in a Power Technology course right now studying power transmission. An isolation transformer is what utility companies use to take the spikes out of the system. I didn't know they made small ones for the home but,theoreticly,if it is built right with the right materials it will give you a labratory grade sine wave.
