Power line "noise analyzer" starts after 6:40 in to the video
How noisy is your AC circuit at your wall plug... let the debate begin, hahah.
A $250 Power Conditioner?
Howard reviews the Puron, which is a small AC power conditioner ($250 USD) "plug" that is distributed by Vera-Fi Audio. It’s said to cleanse the electronic circuit that feeds and audio system. Many tweaks cost a pretty penny for little or no performance increase. Is that the case here?

I have one of these Entech noise analyzer that I purchased maybe 2 years ago based on a previous discussion, so I tested things out. On setting up on an unfiltered outlet, it would only have an affect from the one Puron that is within 5 feet of my breaker box and not on the same circuit. On setting it to about 100 it was very quiet with only hearing a faint radio station with extremely low interference. Nothing like the unfiltered noise level on the video. Kind of needed it in a headphone position to really hear it well. I then went to the one circuit for my system which currently has 8 Purons on it and the reading was actually higher at 127. It was still very quiet but higher! I then went to my Uberbuss power conditioner which is on the 8 Puron circuit obviously and its reading was 13. That was a difficult position for me to be navigating in so I only listened quickly and didn’t really hear anything in the couple seconds. In the who cares department, on my unit when you overload it that small round spot parallel to the volume adjustment illuminates red. Having watched the video I don’t believe his lit up. Not sure why. Also, I don’t think silver cabling has much to do with varying results for the auditioner. I have Duelund 3.0 silver foil speaker cables with pure silver Aero spades, Kimber KCAG interconnects, Kimber D-60 digital cable, and Lavricable Grand power cords, two of them. All pure silver cables. The only connections that are not silver in my main rig is the umbilical from power supply to my transport, and the 3 Signal cable digital reference power cords for my transport and Dac going to my Uberbuss, then to wall outlet. I plan on continuing to add and subtract the Purons I have along with varying locations to hopefully achieve the best sonic results for my application.

Well you won’t know if one is better than the other without comparing - maybe you got "IFI’d". Puron and Shunyata Defender are both better than the NCF Clearline in my direct experience. Point don’t criticize what you have no experience with |
