Power conditioners and wall warts


Is there any point in plugging a wall wart into a power conditioner, other than surge protection? Could it be a negative thing to do?

Chuck, you can use a linear power supply (LPS) and get rid of the wall-wart. A LPS uses a toroidal or R-Core transformer instead of the switched mode PS found in the cheap and noisy W-W. The result will be a significant improvement in sonics; better dynamics and detail, larger soundstage, lower noise floor.

You just need to know the voltage and amperes needed to run your TT.

Thanks. Any brand or model recommendations for an LPS to replace a typical wall wart?
What twoleftears says.  Certain power conditioners have isolated banks: e.g. Isotek.  Otherwise I agree with others that doing a separate power strip with all wall warts / smps in it - and have that into a different outlet - is best.  This helps - but doesn't solve the problem.  A bad / fault PS can still bleed the noise back to the main panel, then eventually to your gear.
