I bought a PS Audio P15 last year, after using Furman Elite and a Puritan PSM156, and plugged everything into it. It has improved my system and I am happy with it. I purposely plugged my amp into it for a couple months, and then switched it to the wall, a noticeable and positive difference. Why, I do not know, but that is the case, probably current limiting, though the specs on the P15 say that should not be the case.
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.

Apologies if I was not clear. Yes, there was a definite and positive difference when I moved the amplifier directly to the wall. @audphile1 Your experience with the Puritan was the same as mine. Noisy. In the end it comes down to listening over time to decide what works best for you. In my case the regenerator is the best solution I have tried to date for my front end components. It is not a jaw dropping difference, but an incremental and consistent improvement in my system. |
