To condition or not ?

Hello All,

    In the owners manual for my newly purchased Origin Live Resolution TT they state ; “ Plug the motor pod into a mains plug. We suggest omitting mains conditioners , filters or anything with surge protection as these can be highly detrimental for performance. The aforementioned items inflict no damage so you can experiment with their inclusion if you wish”. Ummm…I’m  confused ? I have an audioquest integra 1200 conditioner. Is there some reason not to use this for the TT? They seem to contradict themselves ? 
Thank You All.

Thank You all for your responses. We have brown outs here in LA during hot summer days and concerned with surges  from power ups. Like the idea of using a separate conditioner (plugged into the 1200) for the TT alone ? Thanks for the idea.

I've only had one experience with a conditioner. It was a PSAudio block, not a power plant. It killed the life of everything. I ended up putting in a 20Amp dedicated circuit.

Your Niagara 1200 is a well designed noise reducer.  I can’t imagine it would do anything but maintain or improve the operation of the table motor.

Origin knows there is a lot of junk out there.

Niagara 1200 is one that has been reported many times to limit amp performance.
