New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement

Hello,

Newbie here and electrical idiot. Just moved to a new to us house in Tampa. Before we moved in I had an electrician put in a dedicated line (has it's own breaker switch) which is 10 gauge and two Furutech GTX-D outlets - Rhodium.

When I hooked up the EMI meter in my old house, which didn't have a dedicated line, the reading was usually around 26 or so IIRC. At the new house the outlets are 89 usually and the dedicated line is usually around 82 - so not much help for the cost of the "project" and pretty noisy.

Also, when the ac /hvac is running the meter reads about 100 points higher (!) for both the regular outlets and the dedicated Furutechs. Not good.

Thoughts? Does the dedicated line need it's own breaker box? 

I'm also considering a line conditioner but wanted to see what could be done here. Thanks.

Laynes- I fail to understand what in your post is the actual SQ problem?

Your PL has noise suppression   circuitry. As mentioned, a good piece  of equipment with  adequate power supply is really all that's needed. You have the dedicated line, which is a good move.

If you're bent on having more audiophool stuff, there's AC regen or Audioquest Niagqra PLC's. Both get favorable reviews.

The PL is good enough to not need any of that stuff, but alas,  this is the hobby.
