Need for Power Conditioning??

If you are building a music room, you will want built in power conditioning. Have it designed into the room. This is your opportunity to install a large unit to condition all your music room plugs. These big units hum and will need to be located other than in the music room. They will be hard wired into your electrical system. After having done this I will never go back. The sound is so much better.

As well, look into/read up about doing your AC wiring using good quality well shielded wire as is used in sensitive and critical computer controlled robotic applications. It's vastly superior to basic household or even standard industrial 10 gauge wire. Much more resistant to noise. I accept what Coxhaus says above; however, he to will find further improvement by adding additional conditioning to his digital, analog or both. The more revealing the system the more benefit you enjoy from these efforts. (Have you experimented Coxhaus?)

Yes I have experimented and all my digital is isolated from my analog. I believe it is better but it was installed this way so there was no comparison.

The power coming from most poles is anything but clean. I use industrial isolation transformers and constant voltage transformers, and they are superior to anything made for audio (anything which I have tried, that is). But, as Cox points out, they growl, so they must be installed outside the music room.

Coxhaus you've got a great setup. I'm sure your one of the few to hear a guitar sing from a digital drive. The isolation should be mandatory-well it is for great sound anyway. I agree with Terry-there is no such thing as clean power from the pole, anywhere. Terry, have you found it better to have the voltage transformers ahead of the isolation transformers, or vice versa?
