Clean AC power

Anyone remember that scene from Fight Club where Ed Norton's character goes down into the basement and wades in waist deep water to replace an old style screw in fuse that's sparking all over the place?

steakster,
I forgot about those devices as I'm still hooked up to the old time meters that some poor DWP worker has to schlep around narrow back corridors to get their readings. 

But how better a way to transmit the data back than to use the fields generated by the power lines themselves, adding to all the mess we hear on our AC lines. When you look at it that way, nothing is safe or clean.

I've posted they before but some time ago I spoke to an AT&T tech who doing an install in my neighbors apartment. He used to teach electrical engineering at the local community college but preferred to work out in the field. 

He told me that they were sending up to 5 TBs of data using the fields generated by the power in the lines across the city. That doesn't just stop at a transformer, and if anything, engulfs it. More than some of that will make it's way down the line to your place, to dirty up the AC.

That was years ago and it doesn't seem too much to think all carriers are doing something of the sort all over the place.

@hickamore,
I'm using a Audioquest Niagara 1200 power conditioner.  A basic unit with no regeneration. My gear is humbly comprised of a Marantz PM-15S2b integrated and matching SA15-S2b SACD player along with an older model Marantz tuner, my OPPO 103 blu ray player, cable box. TV and a soundbar. 

The sound just got calmer, has a quieter background, there's more see-through, better air and extension in the highs on down to the lows, lost that nervous edge on some music along with some shrillness, etc.

@vgizzi ,
I didn't take any noise measurements; only AC volts which ranged from lows of 118 to highs of 120.4 at any given time of day. At least I knew it was stable despite being an old building. I never took any reading after getting the power conditioner.

Don’t pay attention to anyone who advises you against trying something for yourself. Every system is different and you won’t know until your try. A good company will have a return policy and you’ll know the minute you try a power conditioner.

I always thought the power at my place was clean enough. I tested the AC throughout the day and it never varied more than a point of two. Thinking is was stable and reading that all amps have power conditioning led me to believe that it was unnecessary.

When I tried it, I discovered I was wrong as it made a big difference.
You see, I tried it for myself.

All the best,
