AC / DC - What are you using? Dissapointed by ....

How clean is your power? Have you ever looked at your power on an oscilloscope?

When I was in the city, my power was crap, and a power conditioner made a huge positive difference. Now that I live in the shrubs, my power is pretty clean and reliable (other than the occasional blackout when a tree takes down a wire). I'm happiest with only passive conditioning on the source components these days.

Scoping the power also helped me find where I was getting appliance noise on the powerline, and led to installation of a dedicated line, which helps immensely.

Occasionally I dream about getting off the grid entirely, with a Sutherland phono stage, Dodd preamp, and Red Wine Audio amp -- all battery operated! Anyone doing this?

Can you describe how to scope the AC? I bought a used oscilloscope last year (I should get an award for being able to spell it)for adjusting the gains and testing clipping in my car system. I would love to test the AC.

If needed you could send it to my email.

Power Wedge on Pre and CD player. Mono amps straight into the wall.

I'll let you know when I get my Audience Adept Response later this week.

All I can say is the original PS Audio power plants gave my system that late night listening sense of ease any time I listened. It was night and day (no pun intended) and a regenerator of A/C is the only way to go vs. cleaning up "dirty" A/C power. After owning Tice and others in the past, it was better to use nothing than them. Even though Krell states not to use anything on their amps, I am sorry but the P1200 doesn't restrict anything from my 300S and definitely sounds less solid state and more like tubes to my ears. I never used any footers under mine either until I read on the PS site and that was another noticeable improvement to the Power Plant. I have been using them for 8 years now and will not listen without them.
