Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?
All good components, and they will most likely sound very good together. After break-in time the only question is will your system suit your needs and likes. I believe at least half of the music-listening community, if not a larger percentage, can... 
Not sure for power conditioner my amp or not.
After you have experimented with the power conditioner vs directly to the wall outlet (which is the only way to answer your question) let us know what sounded better and why, please.

Vogue Audio 7N OCC silver cables
I have a complete loom of the Lavricables Grand series (5N Silver) (power cable, speaker cables, RCA and XLR interconnects). Very lightweight and extremely flexible, I like them and they sound very good. I purchased the same complete loom of Vogue... 
Coincident Frankenstein 300b Stereo Amp
@moofoo I already had several pairs of 300B tubes that I use with my Allnic 1500 Integrated so I decided to use the Takatsuki TA-300B tubes. As you probably already know the 300B tubes are the only tubes that you have to supply with the Frankenste... 
COINCIDENT FRANKENSTEIN 300B STEREO
I received my Frankenstein 300B stereo several days ago and I totally agree with the above praise. The Frankenstein 300B Stereo is very well built and sounds very good. I'm very pleased with my purchase from Israel of Coincident Speakers.
