Is it fine to connect a power strip with A/V to one input of the power conditioner?


I have a Shunyata Hydra Delta 6 and wondering if it’s fine to plug in one of its inputs a power strip where I have tv, Apple TV, blue ray player, streamer and power amp. Any recommendations?

I'd generally avoid plugging a surge protector or power strip into a nice conditioner. This is for a couple reasons. First, there is a solid chance it will insert noise into your signal, but second the draw on that one outlet may end up being more than is intended. You're gonna want that power amp to have lots of current available and by sharing it's outlet with other items you may end up choking it a bit. I fact, there are those that done use conditioners for their amps at all because the circuitry tends to limit power a bit. Just my $.02
