As there are only two choices, the obvious correct answer would appear to be, try both and see if you hear a difference. IMHO, the opinions of other members, including mine, have little or no value in these situations. Your system, your ears, your choice. Cheers.
PLUG AMPLIFIER INTO POWER CONDITIONER OR INTO WALL RECEPTACLE
Looking to purchase the Niagra 3000 Power Conditioner by Audioquest. This conditioner has 2 outlets for hi current components such as a power amplifier. This use is specifically mentioned in Audioquests advertising. I have a Bryston 4B3 cubed power amp which is rated at 300 watts per channel into 8 and 500 into 4. I am planning to plug my amp into one of the 2 hi current outlets. Yet, the conventional wisdom suggests that power amplifiers should go directly into the wall. I live in Long Island and I believe the power is not that clean. This is one of the reasons for purchasing this product in the first place. I would be nervous plugging the amp into a standard wall receptacle, which leaves me unprotected. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.
