Power conditions for Integrated Amps


Anyone using a power conditioner for an integrated? I keep hearing to plug your amp direct into a wall, and use a conditioners for the rest of your equipment. So, what do you use for an integrated? I'd like to hear from actual integrated amp owners mostly. Others are welcomed to chime in of course!

I have a nice integrated amp, previously had separates.  I plug all into an AQ Niagara 5000 which has a current bank so it doesn’t limit, but actually can improve dynamics.

After plugging things in, I noticed an immediate and significant reduction in the so called “noise floor”. My audition was 30 seconds before I decided I would purchase the unit.  Mind you, this was after having several other units in on audition from which I heard no benefit whatsoeer.

So, a home audition is mandatory.  Not all “conditioners” are created equal.  I not only have strong surge protection for expensive gear, but the unit absolutely made things better.  

As in all things, YMMV.

Best,
