Explain what is a clean power amplifier?


Can someone explain what makes and define what a clean power amplifier is or does?  I have googled and searched the forum and haven't found a simple explanation to grasp. 

Thanks

No amplifier is cleaner than the electrical grid where it is embed... Even the cleaner amp in the world will be polluted by the noise of the electrical grid of our house....

Then not only it is important to have a clean amplifier but way more important to clean the other part of the system and decrease the noise floor of the house....


Clean is then not enough "clean"..... :)




You're right! I completely unplugged my amp from my dirty house AC and it sounded wonderful! For about five seconds. Then it faded out. Plugged it back in. Crap dirty sound again. Unplugged, clean power! But only for seconds! How can I get clean power to last longer???

The concept of cleanliness is a relative concept.... this is my point....Upstream to the amplifier there is muddy waters this is also my point....

Noise floor is also a relative concept...

When you use your tweaks on your different gear and on the electrical panel you decrease the noise floor and let the signal then better be perceived out of the decreased noise level.... That is my point but you know already that....


Deed I do! Its why there's TC and Mats all over the place, all the way out to the meter. With more coming soon!
