Power conditioners and wall warts

Is there any point in plugging a wall wart into a power conditioner, other than surge protection? Could it be a negative thing to do?

A LPS uses a toroidal or R-Core transformer instead of the switched mode PS found in the cheap and noisy W-W. The result will be a significant improvement in sonics; better dynamics and detail, larger soundstage, lower noise floor. You just need to know the voltage and amperes needed to run your TT.

I have the upgraded model. http://www.swagmanlab.com/page289?product_category=271&brd=1 They don't just make noisy DC power, but they put noise on the supply line. Agree. This is a problem with the SMPS in a wall-wart.
