Amps direct to wall vs. power conditioner?


I have always thought that running your amps direct to the wall gives you the best sound; however, I have a friend who is getting much better sound running them thru a power conditioner. Any thoughts?

Brauser - I use Rowland 102 with Furman Elite 20PFi and find cleaner midrange and better controlled bass. I understand that certain conditioners might drop voltage during very high peaks making it sound less dynamic but both Rowland amps, yours and mine, have SMPS built in. SMPS is line and load regulated with very fast response and voltage drops on supply should not affect anything.
