I have plugged a number of amps that I've owned into a variety of power conditioners, and each time, I found the sound to be veiled, and less dynamic. We are now paying $6/month to the local utility company for having installed surge protection on the entire house. I have not noticed a change in the sound, AND they are covering $50K in potential damage to components/computers/etc.
So that's one option, if your utility provider offers it.
All the best,
Howard
