AC / DC - What are you using? Dissapointed by ....

I also use the Alan Maher Designs Reference Power Center V2 along with a number of his Power Enhancers. They replaced a Running Springs Haley which I also hold in high regard.

Having tried power regenerators like PS Audio and Exact Power, as well as isolation transformers, I can say passive filtering suits me more.

How clean is your power? Have you ever looked at your power on an oscilloscope?

When I was in the city, my power was crap, and a power conditioner made a huge positive difference. Now that I live in the shrubs, my power is pretty clean and reliable (other than the occasional blackout when a tree takes down a wire). I'm happiest with only passive conditioning on the source components these days.

Scoping the power also helped me find where I was getting appliance noise on the powerline, and led to installation of a dedicated line, which helps immensely.

Occasionally I dream about getting off the grid entirely, with a Sutherland phono stage, Dodd preamp, and Red Wine Audio amp -- all battery operated! Anyone doing this?

Can you describe how to scope the AC? I bought a used oscilloscope last year (I should get an award for being able to spell it)for adjusting the gains and testing clipping in my car system. I would love to test the AC.

If needed you could send it to my email.

Power Wedge on Pre and CD player. Mono amps straight into the wall.

I'll let you know when I get my Audience Adept Response later this week.
