Power conditioner or not?

I am confused! Per Naim's recommendations, no power conditioner needed. I have a Naim system, what do you think?

I have listened to some power conditioners with my system and found out that they took away the PRat. The sound is cleaner but, it took away the Naim'sound which I like. Same as power cord. But beside the Naim, I am not sure...

I then put in dedicated power lines with cryoed outlets and found I prefered my system with no power conditioner.

MIT conditioners and power cords use parallel filtration and power correction. Low level dynamics increase, harmonics become more natural and you can achieve higher playback levels without the sound turning ugly or forward. Imaging and dimensionality are also increased.
