Amp straight into the wall


I’ve seen more than a few members recomend going straight into the power oulet and not using power conditioners for power amps. I was hoping someone would explain the rationale behind that.to me. I have been meaning to try that for awhile now, power conditioner is a Torus 15 , thx in advance for your input.

Laser printer manufacturers tell you not to use a power conditioner because it causes a voltage sag that will prevent it from working correctly. Many amplifiers draw more current during transients than laser printers. Voltage sags will slow the recharging of the filter caps and that can cause less than optimal performance into low impedance loads. 

Same rationale as dedicated circuits for high power amplifiers.
