True, using a power conditioner involves some trade off, as does nearly anything..

Posted by Elizabeth on July 25, 2012 at 11:03:29:

Say hypothetically, If you change the preamp, and discover now it has more clarity, but less bass, or better PRAT, but at the same time seems thick.
All changes bring some sort of tradeoffs. Rare to have any change be wholly great.
Even when folks gush this new thing is perfect.. IMO: it is only perfect to them, the flaws are things they do not care about, and usually ignore.
I agree putting an amp on a conditioner has tradeoffs.
YOUR quest seemed to want what this particular tradeoff gives.
Otherwise i would not have suggested it to you.

If you want greater clarity in the bass, and eliminate woolly or thick bass, then Hell Yeah you want a power conditioner.
Just my opinion.
