Best place to live for good quality power


For those of you who have traveled around the world with your hi-fi, what have you learned about where to live for the best power?

- Dense city but right near a substation

- Or far from a substation is ok, as long as few houses on the grid (rural)?

Etc

Some of you are into batteries, but lets talk about how location affects power.

thanks in advance

@mapman ....it does seem to verge on the edge of one, doesn’t it? ;)

I’m within .5 mi. of a major area hospital whose power consumption has to be phenomenal...so my power consumption must resemble a mosquito on the neck of Godzilla. ’Dirt level’, considering the MRIs’ and other SOTAstuff they’re running is either nil or off any conceivable chart....

That, and being in a small industrial clot, I’d assume that during the day...’blotto’.
At night, when most of my ’listening’ (serious or otherwise) is done is acceptable.

And, since I wear aids in my ears (unless ’headphoned’ and eq-corrected)....I can’t hear dog whistles or pin drop impacts either...

There’s a cell tower within 50 yards as well.....

So, class....’Yours uncoolly’ and those about here are so submerged in RFI, EMI, auto & truck ignition racket that concerns over the THD of line volts is likely the least of my concerns.....keeping the AC part of the HVAC up ’n running, Yes.

Not trying to be snarky ’bout it, y’all.... but ..🤷‍♂️
