Amps In Wall Or Conditioner?

A direct line is a dedicated circuit from the breaker box. Your breaker box is 220v… so I would get one on each leg (they are typically next to each other in the box) one for the amp and one for the other components (power conditioner). The sub will not matter much… I doubt most people could tell the difference where you plug it in.

The direct lines for me cost less than any one interconnect or power cord, but resulted in greater improvements in sound. I have a really good system… the better system the more obvious the improvement.

I’m pretty sure “it depends”. I used to plug them all into my power conditioner. I added a direct line. That improved the sound. Then plugged the power conditioner into one of the two outlets on the direct line. Recently I put a direct line directly behind my amp and plugged my amp directly into that… sizable improvement.

So, my experience says amp directly into wall, the other components into power conditioner. Separate direct lines better still. The direct lines are really worth it (10 gauge).
