Re: How about hardwiring Romex from the panel directly to a multiple-outlet box/conditioner?

Mine is almost like that of maabx. Starting at the breaker is a continous 12ga twisted pair with a ground wrapped around the twisted pair in the opposite direction at half the twist rate (twisted pair at 6 turns per foot and ground wire at 3 turns per foot). The entire length is in flexible plastic conduit, I'm down in a hole away from town so not much RFI here. I built strain relief into the box near the amp using nylon pieces and nylon ties. Going out of the box is a pigtail in armored cable with a female IEC connector. The whole cable is continuous from the breaker to the IEC connector. I talked with several electricians including a friend that works for Bonneville power and all of them said this was defensible under the code.

I use this with a PS Audio HCA-2 which had a some transformer noise and played little gurgles and squeaks all by itself before I made this change.
