Power Supply Options - Pre Amp and Power Amp

I would plug the Pass and the Ayre directly into the wall. Then just get a line conditioner for the CD player.

I concur with ZD542, especially on the power amp. The fact is that any better quality power amp will already have adequate filtering and such built-in and connecting straight to the wall will allow it to draw as much amperage as needed...

I agree with Tls49, dedicated lines with upgraded outlets should be the first step on your power upgrade list.

I use a product called: Furutech E-TP60/20. It's a 6 outlet case with 12 ga wiring and 20 amp receptacles, even comes with one of their nice power cords. (Google for more details). They make similar units less in price that may work for you also.

I plug my Pass XA.5 amps into the wall, my preamp and tuners (have several) into the Furutech.

For digital, you could use one of the Furutech outlets and hook up something with a "digital filter" but I'd try it without and see what happens.

Best results are to make your own 'powerstrip'.
Get a plastic home cu=onstruction outlet box from Menards or Home Depot.
A variety of types are available.
I like the heavy grey plastic ones..
Get a pair of Pass & Seymour heavy duty outlets and some wire, a plug.

I would advise adding a wire bypass to add to the strap across each half of each duplex.
And better to plug the amp in the first one. The one the wire into the box attaches to.
Make a small label or use a marker to mark the box with which one is the #1 outlet for future reference.
This type of device also allows for changing duplex to some of the aftermarket audiophile types in the future.

I have several such boxes

The only 'flaw' is the AC wire going into the box is not clamped to the box. (the wire is only screwed to the duplex outlet) So an accidental hard tug on the box vs cord should be avoided. This can be alleviated with some sort of scheme (like epoxy or Uethane caulk.. some sort of glue at point of entry). But it does not worry me.
