I've read all that as well, I just thought you might have discussed it with Chris.  I saw it rejected noise and such, and I'm sure it does sound much better.  However I had not seen it discussed as a "power conditioner"  I agree that it is a must do something to help out the background noise, but again it never mentioned which filters it used and the like.  I just usually think of a "power conditioner's" as Exact Audio, Richard Gray, etc.  I'm actually hoping to score a PS Audio PP300 w/ fan off the 'gon.  

BTW, I'm not trashing your purchase, just looking to see what it does as I'm thinking of adding it to the upstairs system.

thanks
sc.

I don't notice any noise in my playback but the outlet I'm plugged into also feeds TONS of other stuff in my house.  I'd probably be amazed if I took an hour and ran a dedicated circuit!  :-\   My point, though, is that I think noise in home playback  is one of those things that you never notice till it's gone.


This thread often makes me wonder how much of market there is for design/build high end home theaters. ($$)
if you build it they will come

My system makes a little bit of noise when the TV is on, I can hear the difference... it's not dramatic and doesn't really distract me much but if I'm really critically listening I like to have it off. It's slight but even Sara hears it...

it made a much bigger difference than I ever would have expected.

I don't care if I can measure it, I care if I can hear it.

If I cared about measurements I wouldn't run tubes.
