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 tested my ac outlets with a rfi meter before my furman and it was 97. I could hear the police talking on radio. After the furman it was 2. Couldn’t hear anything. I also added a 20amp dedicated solid strand line and an audioquest Edison nrg 20 outlet and my system sounds fantastic. So well, I can’t stand to listen to my other system upstairs. It sounds grainy. My teenagers agree as well. They’re already becoming young audiophiles. Couldn’t be happier.
