I've done both--plugged them into the wall and conditioners.
@bluorion , do you hear a difference?
Should Amps be plugged into a power conditioner?
Greetings,
After reading about the amplifier hum, it was mentioned that some knowledgeable people say NOT to plug an amp into a power conditioner. Plug it directly into a wall outlet. Thankfully, I do not have a hum issue, but am curious as to what others say about where to plug your amp into.
Thank you!

Since integrated amplifiers include a power amplifier, then this discussion would be relevant, but I never had hum of any sort prior to using a conditioner. A conditioner can change/improve the musical presentation and further quiet the background…but it isn’t an overt hum that most of us are concerned with..

@jsalerno277 Most power conditioners do not provide surge protection - make sure what you have is truly protecting your equipment. |
