Default Integrated...direct to wall or through conditioner?

Downsizing from monoblocks to an integrated. I previously had the amps direct to wall.

I’ll probably test both ways to see if I can hear a difference, but would like to know what most of you are doing in your setups.

I think a bit more info would be helpful such as which integrated, or if you haven’t selected one yet, how much power are you looking to get, tubes or s/s, what other equipment, how good or bad is the power your electric company provides, etc. If your integrated, or integrated to be doesn’t require vast amounts of power (and maybe even if it does), the new conditioners and PCs from Shunyata make going direct to wall much less of an optimal option than it used to be. In my case, I have mid-power tube integrated and a power company that serves up not great power quality so for me a conditioner is a no brainer.
