You might not need a power conditioner. I lived in the big city in a house built in 1955. It had some issues. I bought an Audience AR6 and most of the noise went away. I moved to a brand new house on what used to be a cow pasture on the edge of a town of less than 20k people. When I hooked up my system, I couldn’t hear any difference whatsoever with or without the Power Conditioner. About six years ago I moved back to an area with about 2.5 million people into a house that was built in 1962 and every plug only had two slots. No ground. Once again, I needed the power conditioner. I have since run some new lines to my music room and the noise is less, but not gone, so the AR-6 is back

Power Cords/ Conditioner/Surge Protectors
Do I need to add power cords/conditioner/surge protector to my system or is it product dependent.
My current system consists of:
- Moon 390 network player
- Moon 761 amplifier
- Sonus Faber Sonetta V speakers
Should I use the stock power cords on the Moon equipment or look at new power cords? If new cords should be purchased let's hear some recommendations. Will the power cords change anything sonically?
Should I also add power conditioner/surge protector to the equipment? Again, does it change anything sonically? If recommended do you look at Shunyata, Panamax etc.
Thanks for your input/recommendations.
