Electric cars will ruin late night listening?


My system sounds best late at night. I run passive conditioners. Everyone is a sleep, no one is running stoves, microwaves, A/C is running less, the transformers are working less. 5,10,20 years from now we all have electric cars. Everyone is fast a sleep with there electric cars plugged in for there 4 to 8 hour charge every night in my neighborhood,, my city, my state. What will this do to the sonics of our system or the quality of the power coming into our homes?

If you put a blue rag in the left window of your dining room right after the sun goes down, this will never be a problem.

Take an ordinary Lamp.....unscrew the bulb and replace with a screw in socket....plug your Stereo system into the lamp...turn lamp on. This alleviates any such problems.

 felt he now had DC in his line because his tube amp started to get a mechanical hum. 

I assume your repair guy measured DC current in his line versus simply "feeling" he's got issues. Regardless, wouldn't a decent power conditioner resolve this very issue? I thought that's what power conditioners do - eliminate voltage spikes and remove any interference/intermittent frequencies that ride on the main signal. 

 

I know some don’t agree that there system sounds better at night and I understand that but at my house does sound better late into the night. You would think if cars are charging at night it would affect my power, right?

I agree with music sounding different at night. Reduction of ambient noise caused by vehicles, people, pets, businesses etc. would all factor in... and the hum from appliances like fridges, microwaves, HVACs etc. are significantly reduced at night.

But I don't see that change in sound quality as an attribute of better power coming into my gear at night :)
