Should power cords have filters on them?

Everyone say"s you should plug your amps directly into the wall, not a power conditioner so why do they have filters on power cords for amps?I use the Furutech E-TP80 it has no fiters on the amp duplex. I have the Cam 200"s, currently using the Model 11 series II. The Cam"s fuse caps are real close to the IEC connecter,I wonder if Classe knows that!So the power cords with the big round connecters don"t fit.Doesn"t give me many options.Any Advice.Please don"t tell me to sell the Cam"s I do like them!Maybe I just answered my own questions.

Although power accessories, inline or outline, such as power conditioner, surge protector / suppressors, ferrites, choke, parallel filters do help cleaning the power that is fed to your equipment which do help them perform better; a good enough equipment will have a good enough power filteration circuit within their power supply, therefore, minimizing reaction when changing to a very good power cords. In theory, the better equipment it is, the less a good power cord will react it's performance.

For your discussion about whether if a power cord should have a inline device for filteration... My thinking is... a good power cord design should focus on how to prevent interferences instead of how to filter them. Good manufacturers who makes equipments should take care of the filter problem.
