Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
On a dedicated circuit with an EP-2050. Please explain your rationale.  
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
I reached out to Audioquest who makes my power conditioner and this was their reply:“Just having the Niagara 1200 connected to the wall outlet will help to improve any component plugged into the second outlet in the duplex.”Cool…  
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
I fully understand the benefits of and the principles behind the EP-2050 and a modular unit (e.g., Shunyata Venom Defender).  My question is whether a power conditioner has the same impact on the other outlet of a duplex, i.e., that it also functi... 
Clean AC power
Life-saving tip: If you see someone get hit by lightning or is otherwise electrocuted the lethality is due to the heart going into ventricular fibrillation. Therefore, you should check for a pulse and if absent, do a precordial thump, which is a f... 
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
My understanding is that the EP -2050 (https://store.acousticfrontiers.com/products/environmental-potentials-ep-2050) and perhaps the modular devices operate by serving as the preferred conduit for the noise in the signal. The EP-2050 functions in... 
Will line conditioner do anything for the other receptacle in a duplex?
If a modular device (e.g., Venom Defender) and a whole house device (e.g., EP-2050) can "clean" the adjacent circuits, how is a power conditioner different?

What is your favorite album cover?
Captain Beyond's debut album with the 3D appliqué. 
Make way for the future....
I love my Devialet Expert 400 not just for the sound but also for its numerous features. Flexible MC/MM phono section, built-in Roon compatible streamer, bass management with four different slopes for both hi-pass and lo-pass along with time delay... 
Do you care about car audio?
Even the finest car stereo does not compete with a good home system. Playing loudly enough to appreciate a high end car stereo is at the least distracting if not isolating.  Both are dangerous.Drove over 6000 miles in 16 days and did not listen to... 
What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital?
I recently went to a direct ethernet connection streaming to my Devialet Expert 400, figuring this is about as good as digital gets, at least for my money. I am delighted I can finally listen to digital as a source instead of just background music... 
Crossover with variable slope and time delay
Understood.  It is daunting to try to match everything by ear alone, recognizing that I have now opened up Pandora's box for those who will say you should only trust your ears.  My feeling is the ARC should get one close and then tweak by ear. I h... 
Crossover with variable slope and time delay
I am considering the addition of room correction as well but at this point it is of secondary import. It would be nice to have but its absence is not a deal-breaker. 
Crossover with variable slope and time delay
I have a Devialet Expert 400 running Wilson-Benesch Vectors with a distributed bass array powered by a Dayton SA1000. I am considering upgrading and was initially simply going to replace the D400 with a D440 but I do not want to rule out other com... 
Another dedicated line question
MC: not sure what you mean by "one line is always better".  One line for each device or only one line in conduit? Also,"The power used today is the third or fourth iteration."?  I have done multiple searches and read multiple posts. Difficult sepa...
