Protecting AMP and Cleaning AC Power

I use a Furman Elite 15 PFI for my front end components. I have my tube amp plugged straight into the wall. The Furman can be power limiting. There are some power conditioners though designed especially for amps. I personally have not tried any of them. Not only is there the cost of the conditioner but another power cord as well. I would not want both my front end components including turntable and amp using the same power conditioner. Try plugging your amp straight into the wall and see how it effects the sound.


 

 I live in the Chicago area and we have a lot of summer storms as well. I still plug my Audio Research Ref 110 straight into the wall. I would not have my amp turned on during a storm. Power strips can have a negative  effect on the sound.. There are power conditioners especially for amps. Shunyata made a 2 outlet version of the Hydra. They usually sell for around $300 

 I had an older PS Audio Power Plant, not the Premier. It did have a very positive on the sound. But I had a lot of problems with it kicking off after I got a tube CD player. I already had a tube preamp  You certainly could not plug a power amp into it. I do not know what kind of draw the Premier will handle.
