THE WALL---Why?

No, this does not refer to Pink Floyd or Donald Trump! 
  I was just wondering why audio dealers tell you to plug the power amplifier into the wall, rather than into my PS Audio power plant? What harm would it do to plug it into the Power Plant; it has plenty of capacity?! Would I risk any damage if I plugged my power amplifier direct into the power plant? 
just curious... thanks.   ---Steve

My Pass 350.8 sounds much better into my Audience 6TSSDOX 20 amp unit more detail ,quieter,better stage etc. It all depends on how good your unit is.Its my second unit which is only for my amp.

The Wall- as it refers to both Pink Floyd and Donald Trump, is a premonition.

If you plug amp to the wall, it’s not going to work, so the advice of dealer is wrong.

BTW, Ebm, why more than one line?

czarivey, I'm guessing the dealer meant plugging the amp into the wall electrical outlet but I can't be sure. I've tried plugging mine directly into the wall and you're correct, the amp won't even power up.

Amp is 18ft from components between my speaker on a separate 20 amp line.
