Should power cords have filters on them?

Everyone say"s you should plug your amps directly into the wall, not a power conditioner so why do they have filters on power cords for amps?I use the Furutech E-TP80 it has no fiters on the amp duplex. I have the Cam 200"s, currently using the Model 11 series II. The Cam"s fuse caps are real close to the IEC connecter,I wonder if Classe knows that!So the power cords with the big round connecters don"t fit.Doesn"t give me many options.Any Advice.Please don"t tell me to sell the Cam"s I do like them!Maybe I just answered my own questions.

If you decide you need filtering, change the IEC connectors on your amps for filtered ones. Get them from an electronics parts place and make sure they are rated for current required by the amp. Then you just need shielded power cords with quality connectors (DIY!) and you're all set.

I mean IEC SOCKETS on the amps, not the cords. Talk to Classe, I think they are a mod-friendly company. They used to make aftermarket cords too.
