Power conditioner or outlet?


I have a Shunyata MPC-12a power conditioner. Read that it was a good choice for audio equipment so I bought it. I also have high end power cords to all my equipment, as well as to my Shunyata.

I have recently read comments from listeners that you should plug your amp/preamp straight into the wall. Is that the case if you have a good power conditioner? I will do so if it is a better option, just concerned about no surge protection for the amps...but also don't want degraded sound! I am asking this because I am a newbie at all this, more money than audio sense. I am interested if anyone might have any experience in this

I suggest you first plug everything in your power conditioner except power amp. Listen and then plug power amp in it as well. Listen again. Try various music, including very dynamic one, and move the volume control up and down. If you hear no difference, leave everything plugged in the conditioner. Also, experiment with your power cords - which goes where. Power cord requirements for power amp are not exactly the same as for cd transport, as an example, but there are those that work very well everywhere. We don't know your system.
Right. Sorry. So here it is:

1) Wells innamorata power amp
2) Jolida Fusion Preamp
3) PSB Imagine T3 speakers
4) Simaudio 380D DAC
5) PS Audio Perfectwave CD transport
6) Questyle CMA 600i headphone amp/dac
7) Musical surroundings nova phonomena phono preamp
8) Lumin D1 streamer
9) Melco N1A network digital library
10) Project Xtension 10 turntable
11) JT Dynamic Power 4 rail power supply
12) Dspeaker antimode 2.0 dual core room correction
13) Sonos connect ZP90 streamer
14) Shunyata MPC-12A power conditioner
15) Focal elear, final audio design sonorous VI, Sennheiser hd6xx, hifiman he4xx, Beyerdynamic dt880 headphones
16) Virtue audio interconnects, JT Dynamic Power power cords

I have different power cords that were built by JT Dynamic for the various components. But I am appreciative of this advice
Dave Wilson (of Wilson Audio fame) didn't bother with power conditioning if that tells you anything. What's more, the entire point of a power supply in a component is to normalize and filter the power coming into it. The ideal power supply should be indifferent to anything going on between the back of the unit and the generation station so long as sufficient power is available. Logically, the more an outlet, a cord, or a power conditioner make a difference, the less ideal your power supply is. 
Okay. So the opinion I read, plug your amp/preamp straight into wall is valid then. Perhaps okay for other components?

What I have read is that a good power conditioner can clean up the fed power and improve...i suppose much like a really good power cord?
I think the presupposition for those who advocate plugging directly into the wall is the circuit is dedicated to that plug/amplifier. Otherwise, and depending on the current requirements of the amplifier, I don’t think its advisable to share the power fed to the amplifier with other electrical devices in the house, especially dimmers or appliances which turn on/off thermostatically. A simple test for the circuit is plug in a high wattage hairdryer in the shared socket and measure the voltage drop when you turn it on. Try the same with your power conditioner. A good power conditioner will/should have no voltage drop with a high wattage hairdryer running with everything else plugged into it.
