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!

@mijostyn,
I used to wonder about this until I saw this video.

All the best,

If power supplies cleaned out all incoming AC then they'd be pretty much standardized by now, which none are. No two make are alike. Most are built to a price point or with the belief by the designer that they are only intended to do one thing and that by going by the book, the problem is solved. 

That has never been the case.

All the best,
