Amps In Wall Or Conditioner?


Stereo amp and subwoofer amp, both with upgrade PCs, plugged straight into (upgraded) wall outlets.
Same with tube preamp.

Now getting power conditioner for use on DAC, streamers, CD, maybe even analog sources. 
Conditioner has 2 high-current outlets. Majority opinion says don't use these for amps.
If not, how about preamp and/or DAC? Any foreseeable benefit or detriment of high-current vs. linear filtered?
Thanks!

Thanks, all. As planned, stereo amp stays in the wall. Conditioner goes in the wall. DAC, streamers, CD go in the conditioner. Analog sources can probably go anywhere(?). Preamp and sub amp are the floaters. Then we listen and fiddle and await the electrician, more like Godot than the Iceman. Sorry for dumb question; my first tryout with an actual conditioner vs. Furman 8 + Quattro 4.
ghdprentice, not sure I know what you mean by direct lines. Separate dedicated wall outlets for different amps on the same circuit? Or whole dedicated circuits for each amp? Or something completely different? Thanks.  
builder3, yes I will experiment within the limit of available possibilities at any particular time.

gdhp, mijostyn, thanks for the clarification. As it happens, nothing but audio outlets on my (in that sense) dedicated circuit. Believe I will add a separate amp circuit, if an electrician should someday return my call. 

The remaining question: any problem switching the tube preamp to the conditioner's high-current outlet when the conditioner inherits the preamp's wall socket?

tomic601 +1. Fortunately, no wall warts in the system and DAC is a good one. If an electrician ever shows up I will have him follow your advice.

grannyring, have definitely looked at Puritan, which must be the gold standard as many other users verify your results. Given a larger budget and readier availability, Puritan is where I would go. For now, if the AQ Niagara can just clean up the DAC and streamers, I will call it a success.

@tomic601 router/network switch not on linear filter, not even near the wireless source components (I use a booster in the listening room), but this could be arranged & I have explored the cost/benefit logistics, thanks in large part to your contributions on the subject. Even the conditioner doesn't aim to resolve some specific complaint. It's just the latest new toy that might -- who knows? -- lower the inaudible noise floor around here.
@tomic601 Somehow overlooked Isotek, thanks for the prompt. Now I'm off to watch Kevin D's pitch on the device. Nice that Upscale sells both, and I have tested/uptraded other components with them before.
