I have a decidedly mid-fi bedroom system, NAD C700, Cullen Cable Gold Series power cable, into a Furman Powerstation 8 Digital Linear Power/Surge Protector, then into a hospital grade receptacle. I can detect no difference between directly into the wall or through the “filtering” receptacle on the power conditioner/surge protector. I simply can’t be without a surge protector because where I live we commonly have thunderstorms, don’t want to fry my equipment. Reviews on it are good and so far there’s only been a couple of outages and no damage. I’m sure a higher end, more revealing system may have different results, but FWIW this works for mine.
Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner?
Greetings,
After reading about the amplifier hum, it was mentioned that some knowledgeable people say NOT to plug an amp into a power conditioner. Plug it directly into a wall outlet. Thankfully, I do not have a hum issue, but am curious as to what others say about where to plug your amp into.
Thank you!
