are all power conditioners noisy?


I just received a powervar, and I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but this stonkin' big transformer hums!
I've read reviews where they complain abount the amount of fan noise in some companies products.
To me, the power conditioner adding background noise- even though it's not coming out of the speaker, is very distracting.
Is there such a thing as a silent power conditioner, or should I just give up?

24phun, sorry you had bad luck regarding your power conditioner. I use for my digital front end the Ensemble Duo Isolink and for the rest of my system Richard Grays Power Station, two of them in what's called a star cluster arrangement, with great results.

Total dead silence with the background noise floor gone with air around the players, more precise layering in the soundstage, more natural timbres, without any loss of dynamics or prat.

There are many power conditioners on the market, I auditioned about five different ones before finding what I wanted, so I would suggest you try to audition some new pieces to find what you are looking for.
