Your AC line measures from the back of the device it is connected to all the way to the power station that generated it and includes any substations along the way. All of it, the entire distance, picks up EMI and RFI.
I used Tripplite for many years in both the 4 and 6 plug models and for awhile the Isolation Transformer models. I considered the Surge Suppression mandatory as I live in Miami and we get lots of summer thunderstorms. .. and I actually lost two self-powered subs to surges.
I recently decided to finish off the system I have been building from time to time over the last 30 years and decided to add a high-end power conditioning system. I had reasonable beliefs it would be helpful since I can hear a difference in background grain from summer when all AC units are running in the 167 unit building and a cool winter day when few or none are. The power lines are also noise polluted by refrigerator compressors, computers, florescent lights and so forth specifically including lots of RFI from broadcast stations.
I purchased an Audioquest Niagara 3000 and a Monsoon power cord for it, and upgraded all the other power cords in the system to Audioquest noise drain types compatible with current requirements and the 3000.
It absolutely has made a difference in background blackness, noise and grain in the sound and other areas but I would say this.. if the resolution of your system isn't at a level that you can hear differences in different interconnects, tubes and power cords look for improvements in other places first since you are still baking your cake and it's not time to put the icing on yet.
