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.

For those that don’t understand how a PC works, they are large transformers. The job of the power supply is to turn A/C into DC with a rectifier circuit. The Power Supply section of your Amplifier is a large transformer/Power Supply. They are designed to do the EXACT same thing. Why on earth do you think a PC will do a better job than the purpose-built power supply section of your Amp? The only scenario is if your Amp has a poorly designed PS section in which case you probably can’t hear the difference anyway. Please provide me wrong (not subjectively!). 

No doubt the power supply within amps is critical, first thing I look at with amps, only use monoblock amps at this point.  I want both to virtually equal what I see in stereo amps,  look at filtering and supply. Your amp should be quiet with this, I run tube SET with 103db sensitivity speakers, hardly hear any noise from power line.  Grounds important as well, I ran new grounding rod with equal length ground wires in order to not have grounds potential issue, no ground loops.

If you live in a 3rd World country or have cheaply built gear, a power conditioner might help. 

Otherwise, straight to the wall so you don't limit current...this is according to Nelson Pass, who also recommends using the power cord that comes with his amps. 

Power Conditioners do not solve any of these common problems:

Nelson who? What? Who dat? What kinda name is Nelson anyways? You gonna trust a dude called Nelson? No my man lemme tell you where it's at. I know a lot of dudes on the internet, and they do lotsa research from their barca-loungers, know what I mean? And they say you don't want no cheap cables, you want $5000 cables made of solid stainless steel. And if you can't swing $5000 cables well that sucks for ya but don't try and tell us your pathetic desinformation cause we know the truth! Look at that Nelson guy who can't even buy himself a cable. What does he know? Huh? I know who I believe, man. I do my research too.
