Power Conditioner for Amp

Can you guys recommend a power conditioner that can handle a high powered Amp?

I currently have an Isotek Aquarius, but I feel my Amp (Ayre AX-5 Twenty) sounds better when connected to wall.

As my DAC and preamp benefit quite a bit from the Aquarius, I am thinking its because of the power on Amp.

Consult Ayre prior to any power conditioner. Their power amp(s) may not benefit from plugging into one. 99% will sound best by plugging into a wall outlet.  Happy Listening!

I use an Audience aR6 TSSD with my Ayre VX5-20.  This conditioner has no issues in current limitation.  My entire system sounds better IMO when all connected to the aR6 and each plug is isolated from the other 5.  Quality power cords are also in use.

I am also impressed with Audience. It removed noise I didn't know was there until it was gone. Have a couple small ss mono blocks (approx. 18 watts each) plugged into it & have not heard any downside with that as compared to straight from the wall. As previously stated, a quality wall outlet (I use SR) helps improve sound quality by a fair margin as well.
