Measuring line noise and power conditioners

I recently purchased a Trifield EMI (Dirty Electricity) Line Meter to measure noise coming from my outlets. To my surprise, my $500 power conditioner (name withheld to protect the potentially innocent) appears to not filter any noise per the Trifield readings. In fact, with some of my outlets the measures are higher through the conditioner’s outlets, than the measures coming straight out of the wall. The manufacturer denies anything is wrong with their conditioner, claiming the Trifield is measuring the wrong frequencies. Can anyone explain?

I got an Audioquest Niagara 1200 and use Audioquest Tornado High Current and Source AC cables.  I also installed an Audioquest Edison Duplex AC wall outlet.  I have no measuring device to test my wall AC outlet noise (though I did the research and both read and viewed the metered difference of AC noise before and after the Niagara 1200 was inserted).
What I can say is that my system sounds far more dynamic and clean, than ever before.  The concept and the product work exceptionally well.
My ears told me so.  'Nuff said...
