Stacking mains conditioners
Most manufacturers advice against "stacking" of line conditioners because of possible interaction between the filter and protection components. Stacking will most definitely have an adverse effect on dynamics and bass impact because of the increas...

Surge protector or power conditioner?
The noise filters in power conditioners can have a negative effect on power amps due to current-starving. Some manufacturers use Power Factor (energy reserve) technology to overcome this problem. The Furman Elite-15 PFi is a good example. User rev... 
Electric feedback from water circulation pump
I think that your noise problems are caused by the controller. It's pumping (sorry, couldn;t resist) noise into the AC supply. The solution is to install a good noise filter at the controller site. Contact the controller manufacturer and get their...

Most audiophiles have found that many of the power conditioners/surge suppressors on the market do a great job on source components and preamps but limit the dynamics and bass impact on power amps (and integrateds) and subwoofers. This is the resu...
