To plug in or not to plug in?


I just put a power conditioner in my system. I was planning on using it for my Transport, Dac and Pre-Amp. I didn't think it could handle my 300-watt stereo amp. However, after inspecting the inputs on the back of the unit I noticed it has a total rating of 1800 watts, and there is a receptacle dedicated for the amp, rated at 1100 watts. I can't imagine my amp ever drawing that much. So what do you think? Plug it in or leave it out.

On a personal note I am impressed with the unit thus far. It seemed to remove a certain harsh (bright) edge from the music at high volume. The instruments now appear more defined in the sound stage. The wife describes the sound as rich.

What power conditionar are we talking about here? They're not exactly identical after all.
One of my Krell 300 watt amps will draw 5000 watts at full power.
You didn't specify your amp, but most people I know with large amps prefer to plug them directly into their DEDICATED outlets.

I use one that has its own line and the only thing plugged to it is the amp. I use another one for everything else. Like sean said try it both ways.
