Pass Labs INT-150 with Power Plant Premier

I just upgraded to the Pass Labs INT-150, which recommends against using an active power conditioner. This amp is currently plugged directly to a wall outlet based on this recommendation.

My entire system in the past, including amps have ran through the PS Audio Power Plant Premier with more than satisfying results.

If anyone can help explain the issue recommending against active power conditioners, I would appreciate it. I have no level of expertise on this type of electrical issue.

Thanks

As suggested above, i agree you should call Pass Labs and ask them why they recommend you not use an active power conditioner. I suggest you keep the amp plugged into the wall until you get more info from Pass Labs.

Seems like you should ask Pass Labs. Whenever I've talked to manufacturers they have been very friendly and helpful.

I use my PPP with a CJ 350; which draws more current than the Pass with no problems.

The concern would be the abiltiy of the power conditioner to keep up with the current demands of the ampllifer. Reduced current not a problem that's going to cause damage to your int amp so the question is what affect will it have on sound. That is a question that only you will be able to anwer by listening to your system with and without the power conditioner.
