PS Audio Ultimate Outlet. Does it work well on amps?

I currently use a PS Audio Power Plant 300 for my source equipments. I am thinking about adding an Ultimate Outlet for my amp. Does anyone have experience with this product? I am somewhat hesitatant to use a line conditioner for my amp, as I have found that many don't necessarily make the amp sound better than having it connected straight to the ac outlet on the wall. Any insight you can share will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have tried the UO high current version with a few amps (Rotel RB-1080 up to a Krell FPB 300c) and it definately adds a level of blackness to the background but it also seemed to sap some of the pace and drive from the music. I found it can be a trade off but would suggest trying it in your system since there is the 30 day money back policy.

You need to use the 20 amp version, which works well indeed.

I use 20 AMP UO with my ARC VT-200 power amp which is a big boy. It works well but it requires the Lab Cable.

You mean you need a good set of power cords before the outlet as well as after?
