Should power cords have filters on them?

Everyone say"s you should plug your amps directly into the wall, not a power conditioner so why do they have filters on power cords for amps?I use the Furutech E-TP80 it has no fiters on the amp duplex. I have the Cam 200"s, currently using the Model 11 series II. The Cam"s fuse caps are real close to the IEC connecter,I wonder if Classe knows that!So the power cords with the big round connecters don"t fit.Doesn"t give me many options.Any Advice.Please don"t tell me to sell the Cam"s I do like them!Maybe I just answered my own questions.

I think the ETP80s do have an AC line filter and surge protector. It is the ETP60, which I have, that doesn't have the filter if I remember correctly. I'd suggest you not add filters in either a line conditioner or in the powercord unless you need it such as when you hear static, interferences or sibilance and such in your system.
