Upgrading power system

The downside to choosing a physics major in college is that you can never watch and action movie again without noticing all the things that happen that violate the laws of physics.  Keep these observations to yourself.  Because soon your family will refuse to watch movies with you.  DAMHIK.

The upside to choosing a physics major is college is that you don't believe in black magic.  So a black box that does things that aren't supported by physics doesn't interest you.

I bring this up because there is significant discussion in this thread about these appliances that the consumer certainly can't be capabile of understanding, but trust us, they remove noise.  

Noise isn't like chunks that can be removed with cheese cloth.  Once you have noise in your power, the best thing you can do is rectify it and invert it with a super high quality inverter.

And for those of you that think their suburban power is clean, mine runs about 4-5% thd.

What about balanced power conditioning? The hot and neutral are inverted 180° from each other and the ground is separately filtered.

Power outlets made an improvement in my system.  I went with the AQ Edisons.  I have 2 friends running shunyata outlets who have told me it made as much of an improvement as going from the stock PC to a good aftermarket one.  I have to say I agree.  Excellent ROI.

  @lowrider57 . It was not my intention, it just worked out that way. I wanted better outlets and I’m cost driven. I found 2 gold plated, 20 amp Hubbell's online for way below cost. I installed them and used Ivory covers to mostly hide the bright Orange color. I then added a Richard Gray conditioner. I tried this with my amp into the wall as well as through the conditioner. I run my subs directly to the wall. I gained little if any SQ improvement with the Gray and the outlets. The Gray has a 20 amp IEC and I have 4-5 brands of power cords around. Unfortunately they’re all 15 amp rated. I wanted to upgrade the stock Gray cord as everything else is upgraded. I purchased a 15/20 adapter and tried my various power cords, Morrow, Anti-Cables, Acoustic Zen and the heavy Pangea. This resulted in little if any improvement. About 2 weeks later, I saw the Shunyata Venom HC on sale at Music Direct and noted their return policy. So I tried one and had a major improvement. In retrospect i had little if any direction and was just trying stuff. Lowrider I appreciate you asking and I’ve appreciated your input over the years. I like trying stuff just to see if it works. And I appreciate people that will just experiment and be open minded in doing so. Many times here people are dismissive and condescending to others. Another random thought I’ll contribute to this thread. With all the changes I experimented with I’ll ask others , have you put fresh breakers on your panel? I have a 40 year old house and those breakers get weak and spongy. I noticed on the the high current one for my pool it was pitted from poor contact with the bus bar. Regards , Mike B.

Thanks for the kind words, Mike. I get it now, it's all Richard Gray's fault. I was going to suggest that if the AC line from your audio to the service panel is 12/2 Romex, you could install a 20A breaker. But in light of the condition of your breakers you could use a new panel. At the very least, have a licensed electrician inspect your mains and replace the breakers if the panel is up to code. 

I had all new electrical installed two years ago due to corrosion on the meter and outside line.
