Funny thing happened after my neighbor moved.

My neighbor who had lived at his house for 19 years  moved to Indianapolis, Ind about a week ago.

He and his wife had taken care of nice garden on 2 acres house here.

But after having gone through cancer treatment, he (86 years old)has one or two years left according to his doctor.

His wife (87 years young) is healthy with 10 more years left.

Thus he had decided to move closer to his only son.

He got a one acre house at 5 five miles from his son’s house.


He had been very friendly since I moved to my house 7 years ago.

Thus I miss he and his wife very much.


But funny thing happened!

After he moved out, sound out of my audio system got more clean.

Is it because of absence of RF or EMI noise generated by my neighbor.

New neighbor who bought the house will use the house as second home.


If that is so, is this good news to my audio system?

Some people feel that the sound out of their audio system sounds cleaner on evening.

In my house if I turn on and off the light on the second floor, then music server on the third floor got hitch for one second.

It had already been sold!

Fortunately new owner will use it as second home.

Thus I do not need to spend more money.

I use Spiritual Audio power conditioner( I paid 3k$ 7 years ago), 5 separate isolation transformers for each components and decent power cables like Synergistic Blue PC.

Thus I am rather surprised by the change of sound after he moved out.

New neighbor will use this house on weekend or holidays only.

Thus it may be good new.

@ milpai

Thanks for your recommendation.

But I do not need to consider more power conditioner.

My power used to be clean and it had got better after my neighbor moved out and new one will use it as second home.

@ kehonkahill

You must need good power conditioner not limiting the current of Krell.

Power generator will not work.

Good luck to you!

Today I heard that new neighborhood is living in Florida.

Thus he may want to live in Washington State during summer time to be away from hurricanes and hot weather.

I visited Disney World in Orlando, Florida January this year.

It would be nice to have a second house there winter time to be away from rainy weather in Washington State.

I had lived in Berkeley from 1982 to 1989.

Thus I have fond memory of North Cal.

But with too frequent forest fire and high tax, I have no intention to move there.

I am considering two options.

The first one is to have second home at Florida or Arizona.

The second option is to travel around the world during rainy season.

Thanks for your advice.

I will try  that.

Since my house is located in rural area, the quality of electricity is not so bad.

Recently I had paid more attention to headphone and IEM so that I can enjoy music out of town.
