Clean AC power


The power to my house comes from the pole on the road, then underground to a large box that I assume is a transformer. This supplies power to my house only: there are no other houses within 1000’. Does this mean that I am getting very clean power?

I have been a long time believer in the benefits of AC regeneration. I used to find that I would get the best from my system late at night, especially in the Spring and Fall when the demand on the power grid was at a low point. For the last several years, I have had a PS Audio P20 in my system and regardless of what time of day or season, I get super clean power with a very low impedance-and my system sounds consistently great. This is a fantastic product and in addition to helping create an incredible sound stage and amazing micro detail, because of the low impedance and ability to deliver peak power, I don’t experience compression with loud complex musical passages that were a problem in the past. I have tried all kinds of filters and some very expensive conditioning products and I prefer the P20 hands down. One other point, I do have a dedicated 20 amp line with #10 gage shielded wire running to the P20.  Also, the AudioQuest Hurricane Power cords don't hurt.  I never believed in power cords having an tangible effect until I did some A/B with the AudioQuest Storm line.  Don't think I would drop $30K on the Dragons to outfit my system but any of the Storm series is highly recommended.
