Why Can We plug our AMPS directly into wall w/o Worrying?

hi all.

considering power conditioners for my system, and am stuck on why I can plug my krell amps directly into the wall without worrying about line surges, dirty power, rfi and similar evils... why is it so much more important to get 'clean power' to my other components and to 'protect' them, but so many people advise plugging the most expensive part (of my system) directly into the walls? are power amps somehow impervious to dirty lines and spikes? someone help... with my setup, i could just get a ps audio 300 or mit z center or chang iso 9600 for the components and go the amps directly into the wall, or i could get a more expensive device (ps audio 600, chang ht1000) that includes power conditioning for the amps... thanks again all for your reponses... -

You may want to try Sound Application's CFX. I have recently inserted one into my system with great reticence, mind you. I also had concerns of limitations brought about by "conditioning", but this unit,still in break-in period (reported to need weeks and weeks of break-in), has offered some noticeable and welcomed changes. The most obvious is the blackness in the sounstage. Initially, this character sounded less musical- more hi-fi-ish. Fortunately, as the piece settles, the music amidst the soundstage widens and fills out. The frequency extension has had no deleterious affect even with the amps plugged into the CFX.

More to be shared with additional break-in. Check out Sound application's website; www.soundapplication.com.
