I was referring to the issue of power supply noise coupling within the power circuit.RF noise from external sources requires additional measures, but I'm not convinced power conditioners are the best way to deal with it.
Power conditioners add another line cord and set of connections to the party. They provide more opportunity for RF resonance where it can harm the sound by being in close proximity to the equipment. Series inductors (in RF filters) seem to inhibit the performance of some solid-state power amps. Providing external RF damping to existing power cords, or using power cords with the damping built in, avoids these secondary problems.
Since you opened the topic to wider issues, I also want to mention the problems of ferrous metals and acoustic resonances. IME, any steel near the power wiring can add obnoxious coloration to the sound. If the power conditioner casework is nonferrous, it still must be damped to prevent acoustic resonances.
