Power conditioner plugged into computer battery


I would prefer plugging a power conditioner into a computer back up battery. At least when the electricity went out for a short time, the stereo system does not get shut down. Has anybody found out that the typical computer battery/surge protector limit the amp current or create other sound problems. If yes, is this true across all conditioners or that certain ones manage to be immune. Thank you.

I have used Tripplite line conditioners and UPS.. and even an APC UPS but they make an audio system sound awful!! I used a Tripplite LC1800 and it still limited current. The sound was totally closed in.. and worse yet the power switch went up in flames one day... and I threw it in the garbage..

DO NOT DO IT!!!

There are plenty of audiophile conditioners that provide surge protection for you DAC's and all your other gear so you don't have to worry and more importanly when you get one with isolated outlet banks that filter out the Digital components artifacts on the AC from your Preamp and amp.. this is a huge benifit in sound... I still prefer amps plugged directly into the wall.
