Power Conditioner for your amplifier?

Lately, I've been toying with the idea of trying a power conditioner on my amplifier (ARC VT-100 MkII). I know there has been much written about going straight into the wall with your amp (which is what I am doing currently), but has anyone had any luck with plugging your amplifier into a conditioner? Specifically, I've been thinking of a non-limiting device, such as a PS Audio Ultimate Outlet or a UPC-200.
Has anyone had success using a power conditioner on your amplifier - yes / no? Any thoughts and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. In advance, thanks, and happy listening!

General rule is to never plug an amp into a power conditioner.

There are a few exceptions, but a well designed amp doesn't need power conditioning (at least nothing that most current third party providers offer).

The more poorly designed power supply in any component. ..the more you need (or will notice) improvements by conditioning.
