PS Audio Noise Harvester


Hi,

I just ordered a PS Audio Noise Harvester and I would like to know people's experince with the PS Audio Noise Harvester and the improvement in sound. Does it work also with a 220V system?

Thanks!

I am trying out a few of these. The lights blink ONLY when I have a dimmer in use somewhere in the house. So I guess that is the only noise problem I have in my lines?
Drubin: That is an interesting observation that you shared with us here. Is your system on dedicated lines? Do you have more than one line, and if so, do you have your analogue separate from your digital, etc ??? Are you running any other type of power line conditioner and / or aftermarket power cords, etc ??? Where do you have the Harvester's in proximity to your system, etc ??? Sean

I have two dedicated lines for the system and I believe the analog is separated from the digital at this time but I'll have to check. I have a Foundation Research PC/conditioner on the CDP but that's all. Rest of the system does use aftermarket PCs but no conditioning. I have one Harvester on one of the dedicated lines and the other two on outlets on a non-dedicated circuit in the same room, which my subwoofer is also on. All of the Harvesters blink identically when they blink, and as far as I can tell, it is only when I have a light dimmer engaged. They blink more rapidly the more the dimmer is engaged, which makes sense. There are lights in that same room (but on a different circuit) that have dimmers and well as dimmers in other rooms, which may or may not be on the same circuit as some of the Harvesters (I can figure that out, but don't know offhand.)

Interestingly, I have never noticed the dimmers affecting the sound of my system. It's possible they do and I just haven't noticed, and I can sometimes hear the noise the lights emit when dimmed, but otherwise no.

I can feel your mind working, Sean. What are you thinking?
Thanks for the quick response Drubin.

I asked about your AC system / dedicated lines / aftermarket PC's, the placement of your Harvester's, the use of PLC's, etc... for specific reasons. I was trying to determine not only the effectiveness of the Harvester, but also how effective your dedicated lines, PC's, and PLC's were.

Out of curiosity, is the Harvester that is placed on one of your dedicated lines tied into the same circuit as your Foundation Research PLC or is it on the other circuit? Sean
