When using a power conditioner, why is it advised to run amps directly to the wall?


I have seen it recommended that power for amplifiers should be run directly from the wall outlet vs through the power conditioner. Why?  
I have a 5.1 HT setup with all McIntosh electronics including three monoblocks and one stereo amp. I have everything running power from the MOC1500 Power Control Center. 
Look forward to learning.

Lower power amps can be plugged into power conditioners which may improve their performance but big amps need to go directly into the wall to give them unlimited headroom.

In any case, if in doubt get a demo.
