Just got my new Ayon audio integrated amplifier last night after a 3 week trip to California from Europe. Reading through the manual I noticed this warning:
"!!! It is recommended that you do not use a power conditioner etc as it may be limit [sic] the current available to the amplifier."
I've posted my opinion on this many times and it is very similar to what the manual says. So if you insist on using a power conditioner, make sure that it is oversized. Because the current spikes that an amp needs to produce good base are not accounted for in the specification number that tells you the average power consumption. I would want at least a factor of 3-5, preferably 10.
So I would want a 10 ga power cord on my conditioner, a 10ga cord going to the amp to the conditioner, and similar wiring throughout the conditioner. Hopefully the final stage is a large inductor that works as a power reserve for the amp. But I don't have a conditioner.
