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?

All of which you are discussing is subject matter I really want to dissect and develop to improve my system. How can there be so much conjecture on a topic that's been focused on and researched for so long?

To me it makes sense that if an alternating current can be cleaned up in a manner, which is either different and or better than the rectifier/filtering in the devices consuming power, it can have a positive effect on the sound?
