Plugging in Naim and Non-Naim gear. Things are not alays so claer in a "mixed" system. Any ideas?

I have two options.
Option 1:
Plug the Naim CD 5, Highcap and headline into the wall. Spectral amp/pre-amp plugged into MIT power conditioning as per Spectral.
Option 2:
Plug the Naim NANA approved power strip into the wall and plug my Naim CD 5, highcap and Headline into the powerstrip.
I have my Linn Lingo/Linto plugged into the MIT power conditioning units, as they are then isolated from the Naim gear. When I had the Linn stuff plugged into the same power strip as the Naim, the performance of the Naim gear suffered. I think the switched-mode power supplies of the Linn, throw off a lot of noise.
Would the Naim CD5 and highcap and headline benefit from wall plug in rather than strip plug in?
When I took out the MIT power conditioning stuff and just plugged everythin into the NANA approved strip, including my spectral gear, overall performance suffered.
