How many us a Line Conditioner with a Big SS Amp
This might be geographically situated however I have always found that my amps (SS & tube) sounded better out of a dedicated (high end) AC outlet on dedicated breakers. 
ARC Pre + which SS amp?

What can I expect from Klipsch RF-7 w/small tube?

Are you using several dedicated circuits with high end AC outlets?That's the first place to begin, asuming you don't rent. 
why the PC change the tonal on my gears.
