Pwr enhancer or straight from the wall?

I have heard that high current pwr amps sound better if they are pluged straight in from the wall. In fact when I had the Aragon 4004 this is what I did. Now going to tubes(Anthem amp1) I am wondering if going back to a pwr conditioner(lightspeed 3200) will keep the amp from doing all it can do. Do tube amps have the high current draw as solid state amps? Thanks in advance. (BTW I am currently using the amp in this mode and do not hear any ill effects.)

High power amps do not mean high current in all cases. You need to take one home from a dealer to see if there is a difference. Make sure you install a hospital grade outlet, $8-$12 througha local electronic store, check your yelow pages for electrical supply store. I have not heard the difference with my set up but have on a friends.

hope this helps. Go try one.
