How many us a Line Conditioner with a Big SS Amp


How many us a Line Conditioner with a Big Solid State power amplifier ? Such as a Big Threshold, Pass Labs, Krell, Levinson.

I am still not sure on using a line conditioner on my big power amps.

Thank you for your help.

Big amps meaning tons of amp pull & current. The type of solid state power amp when turned on it makes your lights dim in the room.
Tvad, I have not. This is more general mr shunyata. By the way the Shunyata Hydra crapped out when used with my amplifier. So will be donating the Hydra to the needy.

Tvad- No puzzling situation here. Just a little sarcasm on your end. Just wanted to get a feel on other's suggestion on using Big SS power amps with a line conditioner.

Thank you Teajay. Great to see another Vintage Threshold & PASS owner. Very happy with my amps.

Tvad,
Seriously the Hydra did crap out on my power amp. I tried it last night with my power amps. Each power amp was plugged in seperate times into the Hydra and took away my dynamics, depth , and soundstage. Sonically the Hydra diminished my sound greatly.

So I did answer my own question using the Hydra with power amplifiers.

Now others have suggested Running Springs Audio line conditioner, which I have not tried yet.

Tvad you seem to be an OK guy, but reading your million forums one would think you work for Shunyata. They make a good product, but value is weak with Shunyata. There are many other companies that make a better product without the hype. What I am saying these Audiogon forums should be unbiased level playing field. Not spamming or infomercial forums. We get enough of that in our life everyday.

Tvad.
The Shunyata Hydra crapped out sonically. It works fine other than on my Big Amps.

If you can read my previous reply on this forum I did say that "my question was answered". But I also wanted to know of other's suggestions with use of line conditioners with Big power amps plugged into them. Shunyata has struck out sound wise with my power amp plugged into it.

Tvad you are the one with the Shunyata push to others.
Audphile1,
I couldn't not of said it more perfect than you did:

" I would like a conditioner/protection for this amp without sacrificing sonics".

That's the answer I am trying to find. All I know Monster, PS Audio and Shunyata have all crapped out on my BIG BEEFY AMP. Running Springs may be the answer if I can find someone nearby with one.

May just to go custom with somebody that I know in the industry that can build me a Hi-end line conditioner that would support a BIG BEEF Amp, for the right price that is.
