About 2 months ago, our local utility installed an additional utility pole transformer, apparently to unburden an overloaded one. A transformer they had been threatening to install for some time, but PG&E has a reputation to maintain.
In any case, my system sounds noticeably better as a result. Fewer houses on the transformer. Yes, I have power conditioning.
Nothing like a really clean source, I guess. Here in the Silicon Valley, there is lots of RF pumping around (with smaller lots), and likely a lot of mess on the power lines. Music still sounds best on Saturday and Sunday mornings before the hordes arise...
