Dilemma, amp and old monster power

Seriously, I have no life.
I have an Parasound a 21 and an outlaw model 5000 plugged into a emotiva CMX-2 for DC isolation Because the outlaw guy said and I was getting DC somehow in to my line which caused the torrodial transformers to hum. Then I got that plugged into a monster power center HTS 3500 which is a really old power center. But now I read online that people are saying these power conditioners are not good for amplifiers because they could limit the current. I get the power conditioner part but I'm using that mainly for the surge protection portion for the amplifiers. I do not want to disconnect the amplifiers from that just in case there is a surge, what is a man supposed to do, enjoy high quality but deal with the risk of a surge damaging your equipment, or plug it into the power conditioner/surge protector and lose all the "dynamics" that everybody says you lose when plugging it into a power conditioner
Have you checked this when the speakers were disconnected? If they're able to produce the same frequency, it's hard to discern where it's coming from unless your ear is extremely close to the transformer(s). .
