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!

Hi Bigpond,

Been a while since we've all posted here i see...in any event, my system gets one small step closer to your magnificent one with the purchase of a Burmester 948 to replace my older Nordost Thor/Transparent Audio Power Conditioner. Zanden digital/CJ GAT/Gryphon/Wilson X1s and now Burmester 948. Thanks for the inspiration!!
sorry folks...this was meant to be for a related but different thread...no idea how i was looking at one thread and this post ended up here...at least its related. It was meant for bigpond's own page...strange...anyway...thank you to everyone for your informative posts here!
Hi Goldeneraguy,

the Burmester 948 has a fixed power cable...one of their earlier models. Otherwise, i have found i like Purist Audio Cables, namely their older Dominus cables, as well as their more recent Canorus and 25th Anniversary. I also have had good experiences with Mark Coles' Sablon Audio Power Cables and still use 2 (Oppo 95 and Velodyne).

The PADs i suppose you could say have a sound...certainly switching out with Mark's cables showed me changes. I like them a lot. I have spoken with 2 people whose systems i admire a lot who also liked PAD and only recently went to Echole Cables (their 2 highest levels...cannot remember their name). Hope that helps. Good luck!
