Power conditioner or outlet?


I have a Shunyata MPC-12a power conditioner. Read that it was a good choice for audio equipment so I bought it. I also have high end power cords to all my equipment, as well as to my Shunyata.

I have recently read comments from listeners that you should plug your amp/preamp straight into the wall. Is that the case if you have a good power conditioner? I will do so if it is a better option, just concerned about no surge protection for the amps...but also don't want degraded sound! I am asking this because I am a newbie at all this, more money than audio sense. I am interested if anyone might have any experience in this

Power conditioners / regenerators , capacitance based passive and active I’ve tried a few over the decades with high expectations that they will do something however most did not live up to the claims and in fact some had detrimental effects that were not immediately noticed .
Even though I use dedicated lines and went the route of direct out of the wall i went back to a passive design last year using a Akiko Audio Corelli which actually worked as claimed and was by far the best I’ve experienced however this time after a home trial return policy.
The Akiko Corelli could be replaced and I think it will be by the new active design from Germany , Inakustik Reference 3500p AC conditioner.
