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!

I have my McIntosh MC611s connected to a Shunyata Typhon T2/Denali 6000/S v2/Omega XC PC combination. I know McIntosh professes a direct connection to the wall, but they should hear what the Shunyata combo does to the sound. Although percentages are difficult to quantify in audio (I will give it a try), there is easily a 50% increase in sound improvement (bass, midrange clarity, soundstage).
