I have dirty and unstable AC coming into an old house with mostly ungrounded plugs. A vacuum cleaner will dim the lights a bit. I bought a used PS Audio regenerator and it made a big difference. I’ve got everything plugged into it except two small REL subs.
Smart power supplies for turntable
I've read a number of threads on Audiogon that address the importance of having an appropriate power source to maintain turntable speed. I live in an area with terrible power stability, at the end of a utility company's service area. We have lots of little blips, evidenced by audio equipment, tv's, etc. shutting off. I have a power conditioner (Niagra 1000) to deal with noise in the dedicated circuit for my turntable and other audio gear and a conditioner/UPS for my computer equipment.
My question is whether devices like the Clearaudio Smart Power 12v and 24v battery power supplies are a good approach to maintain turntable speed stability. Are there other conditioners or devices that can be used for a broader range of brands that perform a similar function?
Your feedback is sincerely appreciated.
