I use one that has its own line and the only thing plugged to it is the amp. I use another one for everything else. Like sean said try it both ways.
To plug in or not to plug in?
I just put a power conditioner in my system. I was planning on using it for my Transport, Dac and Pre-Amp. I didn't think it could handle my 300-watt stereo amp. However, after inspecting the inputs on the back of the unit I noticed it has a total rating of 1800 watts, and there is a receptacle dedicated for the amp, rated at 1100 watts. I can't imagine my amp ever drawing that much. So what do you think? Plug it in or leave it out.
On a personal note I am impressed with the unit thus far. It seemed to remove a certain harsh (bright) edge from the music at high volume. The instruments now appear more defined in the sound stage. The wife describes the sound as rich.
