Amp is plugged to the wall, why use a conditioner?

My Adcom ACE 515 I bought new about 127 years ago keeps on truckin'. I run everything from it including a PS Audio Humbuster III that the 2 amps (a tube amp for main listening and a rarely used SS for outdoor deck entertainment). I did stick PS Power Ports in the wall...so there's that...I might be fooling myself into thinking my system sounds amazingly good, but hey...it does. I tried plugging the main tube amp in the wall but heard no difference, and the Humbuster at least makes it look like I care...and I do care...sort of...

Markmendenhall, the problem with noise is you don't realize it exist until removed.

I had friends over and 2 have high efficiency horns so familiar with noise. They heard excessive noise with my amps plug into the wall and one suggested Weizhi. His friend has a Shindo system and got off the bus with Weizhi.

We have all different systems and taste but try Weizhi if you have a chance.

Wolf, I HOPE you are kidding. I believe Adcom ACE 515 was the 1st power conditioner I ever bought zillion years ago and it's a TOURNIQUET on current. It makes the sound like someone is grabbing your ... as you speak. I'm sure you're familiar with this movement. LOL!!!

It's currently used in my father's BASIC system as an extension cord.

Knghifi...you are wrong my friend (and what you do with your strangled personal parts is between you and your urologist), and that's exactly why I mentioned it. Did you miss the part where I said my system sounds great? A basic understanding of current, how it works, how amps use it, and how not to get trapped into hype and nonesense are all things we need more of around here. I rest my case.

I tested many conditioners and to be honnest there are a lot who just work for a part. PS Audio is a brand which is very popular. But there is one thing what I saw in the last 8 years. Many of my clients sold there regenerators. When I ask them why they sold them? They say; I was not convinced. Then I think; but first you bought it. These filters work at 8 bit. This can give a clinical sound. I understand them, I tested them a few times and no I would never want them in my system. I use a Kemp Elektroniks powersourceplus. I use it with a Purist Audio Design Dominus Praesto Revision powercable. It gives a lot more weight and drive compared to a direct use to the wall. The sound becomes so much more musical and realistic in sound. Also the focus is a lot more sharp and palpable. When I go back to a direct use to the wall I also loose resolution. There is less air and also less decay. A good conditioner is the fundament of every system. Without you loose a lot of quality in the overwhole sound. Without an exeptional good conditioner it is like a big orchestra without a conductor.
