Am i missing something without a power conditioner?

As I said in other forum, my experience was at first  with passive AC filters. First with Lessloss, Acoustic Revive, Bybee (two of them). 
When I tried the Torus AVR16 in which I connected my whole system incl the tubed mono blocs Air Tight ATM3, this has been « end of the game » for me.
 Dynamics, silence, transparency, images in all dimensions, music flows very naturally in the room...
You just have to be be carefull dimensioning the transfo. In Europe, Toris doesn’ sell their balanced models, but if you are in USA this is a possibility you can explore.
My 2 cents 

PS : another thing to consider if you don’t want to « miss something » is the Total Contact. It is a contact enhancer that is really (I mean Really) efficient. I won’t say more because the topic can be polemic.

Missing something? Probably yes, a lower noise level. Depends how good are your power supplies in your system and how much noise filtering are they doing. I don’t see what difference can make the power cord, the noise still goes through.

In my case I use a Furman PST-8DIG and I clearly noticed complete silence under no load using Marantz SR5008 and 7008 receivers. Plasma TV is making way less hi frequency noise. The filter inside is working even if doesn't look more than a power bar.

i use a Furman PL-8C. it has a big torroidal tranny
the power in me hood is suspect but seems stable and clean. we do not tax the power here at all. my non-audiphile system of MacBook Pro and LSR 305s sounds very good, noise floor is non-existent and black. I do run a reclocker for the USB into a PreSonus DAC.
everything is plugged into the furman and the system is protected and fed RFI free and regulated power.
if nothing else, i feel better for using the Furman. I lived somewhere that had terrible power and lost a nice Yamaha Nat Sound reciever twice in 6 months....

Power conditioning (AC voltage regulator and RF noise eliminator) is a good thing to have provided:

1- the AC power your utility supplies is not stable and not clean ....

How do you know if the power supplied is stable or not?

I use a vintage analog meter made by WIZ (Power Line Monitor) whose needle will tell me how the power is being supplied ...

When the power supplied from your wall socket is very stable, there is no detectable benefit by using a power conditioner.

There's a lot more to quality AC than simply stable voltage. In fact, power factor is at least as important, and is the reason that many systems benefit from power conditioning.
