Plugging Amp into Power Conditioner???


I read from a manufacturer that plugging amp into power conditioner can decrease pure power from amp... is this true???

My experiece is plugging direct with a amp to outlet sounds better then going through any line conditioner.
Amp through LC can sometimes sound like a blanket is over your speakers. ( so to speak )
Dedicated lines are a real plus to start with. If you can't do that start with audio grade out lets, you will hear a improvement.
It depends on the amp and how much instantaneous current it can draw from your outlet. Some amps need a lot of current while others, perhaps switching amps, need less. I didn't notice any difference when my Bel Canto M300s were plugged into my surge protector. And, some amps, like mine, are very sensitive to power surges and I sleep better knowing they are safe. Its up to you and you can try it both ways.
I am not running anything crazy.... Emotiva amps... but from what I was told the engineer says to not connect through LC.... I have a dedicated Circuit...
Some line conditioners limit current; some do not. Really depends on the amp and the line conditioner in my experience.
I own a Bryston 4B-SST2 amplifier and have it via Pangea '9' from my Furman REF 20i conditioner.
I find the sound is very slightly warmer (good) and smoother (good) and clearer (good) with the Furman.
So I use it.
I decided to buy the (used) big top of the line Furman because i tried a smaller Furman on my Denon 4806 Receiver and was very pleased, even though I returned the cheaper Furman because IMO it was (retail) very overpriced for what it had inside. So I found a BIG Furman ($3,500 retail) and got it for a good price ($1,400) and could pick it up. great!
I use the Furman for the non-digital (pre/amp/Plasma TV/Receiver) and the Monster for all digital stuff.
Prior I had a Forte' 4a amp and alternated plugging it 'in' or 'not in' the Monster 7000SS conditioner I owned (and still use for digital). The Forte sound was a trade off with cleaner purer sound bur LESS bass and a leaner sound with it on conditioner, and better bass but a veil over the sound off the Monster.
Once I aquired a Pangea 9 power cord I used the MOnster as the Pangea restored the bass even though the amp was on the Monster conditioner!!
So I use the Pangea power cord still, on the connection from Furman REF 20i to the Bryston 4B-SST2
So the best course it to try it and listen for yourself!!
Any commnet is only a review of someone elses listening experience.
The 'old saw' about amp straight from wall is best is just OLD 'common knowledge' and not always actually valid for modern or good power conditioners.
The golden rule is:
TRUST YOUR OWN EARS.
