Power cord into power amp

I have a full Isoclean system and I was running the Supreme Focus through the Transformers and the 80A filter.

After reading one of the threads here I saw that it is best not to run a power cord into a filter and then into a power amp. Thinking that the Isoclean gear was above that because of the satisfaction I was hearing out of my system I decided to rip into this thinking. But before I wrote anything I pulled the PC out of the filter and into the dedicated wall circuit. Was I ever glad I didn't write up on my bashing thoughts I had about running the PC through a filter.

So what did I hear. Dynamics came alive with a wider soundstage and DEEPER bass. I can turn up the volume higher without the music breaking down. Almost a night and day difference.

Can anyone explain why this has happened?

Thanks to all who contribute their audio info here on the 'Gon.

Perhaps the Isoclean will only handle so much amperage.
components don't use much amperage,amps do.I use3X7B-ssts+2X4B-ssts
I have dedicated lines 10guage.I use to plug in direct
to the wall(was good,still not what I wanted to hear,tried
Shunyata(hydra 6,components,hydra 2s for amps(fine,still not)
Then I tried a Torus and HOLY CRAP,superb,authority,more bottom,quiet,clean ect.Torus has lots of power in reserve for music peaks.
Some conditioners are non current limiting,BUT they can only give what the circuit will allow,The Torus has a huge transformer and has lots of reserve energy.This is one component that I don't have to upgrade ever.Truly one of the best audio investments I've made yet.
