Clean power for Devialet

Do you feel that investing in a power plant (e.g. PS PP that you have) rather than a power conditioner is a better path to go prior to getting this power cable - in terms of SQ? The other thing that comes to mind is the high current drive requirements of the devialet amp for dynamics. I definitely feel like a power plant will give the devialet more readily available current surge as opposed to a conditioner. That said - any thoughts on 20amp wall sockets feeding into a power plant >> devialet instead of 15amp? I haven't come across any threads yet that compare the merits/demerits of upgrading to 20amps supply. Given that music dynamics are driven by current, would have thought that 20amp sockets would be more prevalent in the community. Any thoughts?

I chose PS Audio PP-12 after an exhaustive comparison with the competition. I also required power regeneration as my incoming voltage was way too high @ 128 ~ 133 volts ac 60Hz. The PP-12 perfectly took care of my requirements. 

I also have a dedicated mains feed to my audio room; directly from the mains circuit breaker, (10 AWG x 3) deep cyrogenic treated Romex wiring that terminates into Furutech FPX Rodium receptacles designed for 20 Amps. The PS Audio PP-12 to the Furutech wall receptacle cable is SR Atmosphere UEF Level 2 20Amp cable of 5-Ft. 

I now have 4 x 220-Pro-CI plugged into my PP-12; each 220-Pro-CI is a monoblock of 440 watts @ 6 ohms. Two of such monoblock units bi-amping Bass are plugged into the Section-D [High Current] of the PP-12 while the remaining two monoblocks are on Section-C of the PowerPlant that does Mid/Highs. All the Four monoblocks use SR Atmosphere for Devialet spec powercords. 

I am waiting for IsoAcoustics Bronze footers (12 pcs; 3 per monoblock) to be delivered tomorrow and each of these monoblocks sit on a 2-inch thick marble slab cut to Devialet's size that weigh 70 Lbs each. These in-turn sit on 4 x [Salamander Amp Stand with spikes over a 1-1/2 inch thick marble slab over thick pile carpet on the floor]. 

Each & every small bit adds to the SQ and its the cumulative result that translates into the kind of sound I seek for.
