The first thing is take the amp off the conditioner. Put the Pre into the conditioner's high current out.
(if you have a integrated amp, you'll ahve to experiment)
(I own 2 Adcom. a Monster av2000 a Monster 7000Signature, and a Monster 5000.)
I find the conditioner certainly changes things. The biggest apparent change is cleaner all through the spectrum. The problem is the cleaner also means 'thinner' Wooley bass becomes polite. Midrange becomes thin.
I put my amp only through an Adcom 315 from the wall. The pre is via the AV2000 to the 7000SS amp outlet. (the 7000SS in balanced power mode)
I have the monster 5000 from the AV2000 for video gear.
A visuale image I have is that the power conditioners clean up the power waveform.. a thick sine wave becomes a thinner tighter one. But most gear is voiced with the 'fat wave' And the tidied up waveform, along with clarifying the sound,also thins it out. good for treble, good for clarity and definition, but bad for bass and midrange wholeness (bloom)
