Analyzing the power from the outlet

I've been reading threads on the various methods of power cleaning -- filters, regenerators, dedicated lines, etc. But I don't see a thread that explains a systematic way of evaluating the condition of the power at the outlet. Is there a thread or a link that instructs on how to analyze the power for noise, voltage consistency, etc from the point of view of an audiophile?

There's a series of threads on Polk Forums, where one of the members, a college professor, ran a series of measurements on power line noise and line conditioner/tweaks. AFAIK, its the most extensive type of evaluation conducted by a product owner on any forum.
