Amps In Wall Or Conditioner?

Depends on the power conditioner. I use a Puritan 156 and it does not limit current in any way. I tried going into my direct 20 amp line vs the Puritan. The Puritan sounded better. So it depends on the conditioner. The Puritan also has the optional Ground Master system and blocks DC. The system sings more beautifully with the amp plugged into the Puritan. My amp is the Circle Labs A200. The Puritan also quiets buzzing toroidal transformers and that is yet another plus.

Just this weekend I tried the wall vs the Puritan again just to confirm. It was quite obvious the Puritan was the way to go.

Other conditioners may limit current and negatively impact sound quality. Other conditioners may not have independently isolated outlets and thus mixing noise from digital components in with analog components. So it comes down to the unit in question and actual listening tests.

Understand completely.  Folks love the Niagara.  Tvad here liked it more than the Puritan 🙂.  What’s most important is you just need to try for yourself.  Trial period would be great! 

Funny Charles! Most familiar with your conditioner as I had two upper end units over the years. My gear, system, and amps all sounded better through it. I remember the music taking on better weight and bass foundation as well as cleaner and smoother highs. The weight it brought to the music stands out the most in my memory of BPT. Great unit!

No current starving on ANY amp I put on the Puritan. Puritan advertises the same thing. I have put a 400 watt class A/B amp on it. A 55 watt pure class A amp on it……you get the idea. Always sounded better than plugging into my upgraded audiophile wall outlet as part of a dedicated 20 amp circuit isolated from the rest of the home’s electrical. That is my experience in my home. I suppose one could have a different experience based on a combination of realities all coming together. In audio one can never say something is true in all instances. My experience only.
