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.

zlone’s response is unclear to me. Did the PS Audio improve or degrade the SQ from his amplifier?

I based on readings here, I plugged my Allnic power amp into the wall instead of my longstanding PS Audio P10 power regenerator. The enhancement in sound quality was immediately noted. It replicated the experience of zlone reported in the Forum.
