Power cord into power amp

I have a full Isoclean system and I was running the Supreme Focus through the Transformers and the 80A filter.

After reading one of the threads here I saw that it is best not to run a power cord into a filter and then into a power amp. Thinking that the Isoclean gear was above that because of the satisfaction I was hearing out of my system I decided to rip into this thinking. But before I wrote anything I pulled the PC out of the filter and into the dedicated wall circuit. Was I ever glad I didn't write up on my bashing thoughts I had about running the PC through a filter.

So what did I hear. Dynamics came alive with a wider soundstage and DEEPER bass. I can turn up the volume higher without the music breaking down. Almost a night and day difference.

Can anyone explain why this has happened?

Thanks to all who contribute their audio info here on the 'Gon.

Dtsag,

What are you smoking?

The Isoclean has made a major impact on my system but not on the power amp.

PS Audio for you but not for me.

I will try bypassing the Isoclean and try the fan and report back.

I am not sure what you mean by where I ran the ground of the Isoclean to.

From the wall into two transformers (jumpers), from transformers into the 80A filter (6 outlets), Supreme Focus running from the 80A filter into the amp.

Check my system and you will see pics of the Isoclean.

My goal is to get off the grid.

I have the ASR Exclusive battery powered Phono and the batterey powered Dodd preamp. Next move is the ASR battery powered amp. Can I run my Lector T3 off of a battery? If so then I can unload all Isoclean gear.
