Removing power conditioner...

So after a couple years of just assuming my system was better with a power conditioner in it vs none, I took mine out for a quick test and was suprised at how different it was. I think I like it better without.

However, it occurred to me that I would have an issue as one of the benefits of the conditioner was that it provided many outlets for all my components.

For those of you in the 'better without a conditioner' camp, do you use any sort of power-bar or similar item to plug in all your components?

I have a dedicated 20amp circuit for audio, but only one outlet.

Thanks in advance.

I agree with Richard_stacy. None is probably better, unless you have really terrible power in your area.

My only real concern, and the reason I do use a conditioner, is for the surge protection. I live in the Midwest and we have some real nasty thunder/electrical storms. I have however, gotten braver and now I plug my Krell amp directly into a wall receptacle, which is wired directly to a dedicated 20 amp circuit.
