Funny thing happened after my neighbor moved.


My neighbor who had lived at his house for 19 years  moved to Indianapolis, Ind about a week ago.

He and his wife had taken care of nice garden on 2 acres house here.

But after having gone through cancer treatment, he (86 years old)has one or two years left according to his doctor.

His wife (87 years young) is healthy with 10 more years left.

Thus he had decided to move closer to his only son.

He got a one acre house at 5 five miles from his son’s house.


He had been very friendly since I moved to my house 7 years ago.

Thus I miss he and his wife very much.


But funny thing happened!

After he moved out, sound out of my audio system got more clean.

Is it because of absence of RF or EMI noise generated by my neighbor.

New neighbor who bought the house will use the house as second home.


If that is so, is this good news to my audio system?

I have no noise issues that I can detect. I use no power conditioning. Maybe it's snake oil or maybe it's just not necessary where I live and how I wired my house when I built it. Yes, I mean my family and I built it from the ground up and I wired 85% of the house myself. The transformer for our house is right across the street and blows up about twice a year, any time anything happens in our town. Nonetheless, as long as I have power my system sounds the same every day. I, for one, don't believe I need power conditioning and I believe that people who need to spend $3,000 on it must have less expensive options to consider. Is the ground outside your house perfect? Easy to test.
2channel8,

I thought I had clean power too. I live in an area that the houses are far enough apart that each house has its own transformer. 

I have tried many conditioners and they did improve the sound quality anyway.  My latest, is the Audioquest Niagara 7000. It not only improves the sound quality but adds much more dynamics for the amps.

Don't knock it until you try it, you will be surprised and a believer.

Today I heard that new neighborhood is living in Florida.

Thus he may want to live in Washington State during summer time to be away from hurricanes and hot weather.

I visited Disney World in Orlando, Florida January this year.

It would be nice to have a second house there winter time to be away from rainy weather in Washington State.


I abandon Seattle in winter for California 

I would use Bowie’s fabulous The Man Who Fell Earth as a reference for future evaluations of power quality....

have fun up there, shake the rust off and don’t kill the Orca
