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

Unlike the old analog meters, new smart meters may not provide any surge protection and send out radio signals to the provider to measure usage multiple times per day. The radio signals may also travel through your entire electrical system. Some people have reported health issues related to the use of smart meters. I don’t know how clean my power is but I have two sub panels between my audio system and the main panel/meter.

Run at least one dedicated 10 awg line with shielded wire or use metal conduit to shield the wires from point to point. You rarely, if ever, see conduit in home construction. This topic is definitely something to think about if you’re building or remodeling your home. Don’t forget about running network cables.
