I have just looked and I have been using a MIT Z-strip when I wasn't using the AC-Curator, so in truth I have never listened to a Devialet amp with no mains filtering at all.
Sorry!
Answering a point on the spawning thread I imagine the extent to which the interference reduces with distance will dependant on the installation's overall capacitance and inductance. It it is simply a low resistance mains supply there would be no reason why it would.
This means any loss will dependant on the behind the wall wiring, junction boxes and so forth.
I believe spur systems break UK regulations, but one could always make a single socket "ring main" by running a double cable from fusebox to socket.
I actually put in two separate ring mains when I had my listening room built. So I can choose to put the hifi on one, the other or bits on both. I haven't messed about with this much though.
