Thanks for your testing results

You are 100% correct. I am a power company engineer. The conditioner wpill clean rf and spikes at many frequencies and you are on point if lightning hits the system a piwer conditioner can attenuate or stop the lightning surge

I recently god a power conditioner for my euroraack synthesizer to get rid of all the noise in recording. It works great!

This video is on point. The only reason I bought my conditioner because of clicking and popping in my speakers. Damn powerline network adapters. HF RF Filtering power strip reduced it by, subjectively, 80%, but only a conditioner with a fat toroidal isolation power transformer removed it completely.

Thanks :)

The only power conditioners that do anything useful are transformer-based and can be had pretty cheaply used on ebay etc. OneAC makes some nice big heavy ones. Double-check how many VA (subtly different from watts) you need for your application. The 1000+ VA models can be boat anchors larger than shoe boxes so really consider if you need that much or can get away with a 300-600VA model. They’re just large transformers that filter out noise and DC by having the input and output electromagnetically coupled instead of physically with wires and components.

The Furman ac215 has been working well enough for me. It's greatly reduced the hum coming from my guitar amps.

I got the Furman AC-210 A E Power Conditioner for my HEDD Type 07 speakers. Mainly for the protection. They’re pretty expensive so I want them to work for as long as possible

This is because not all unwanted noise comes from the power that’s going to it. Any kind of crappy or malfunctioning equipment can cause noises.

Can you test Puritan; it seems to be better then existing conditioners?

I really love your channel. Here is a question for you.... maybe a video.... what do you think about summing mixers? I am considering purchasing a Rupert Neve 5057..... I just don't know if its worth it.... are they just boxes with transformers and that's it.... let the debate begin. 🙂

I’ve used analog summing quite a bit. I used to swear by it, but now I’m 100% in the box. I still have by summing box hooked up and ready to go, but I don’t use it anymore. It adds a little bit to the noise floor, as the audio passes through a bunch of stuff then gets amplified. I found there’s a slight loss of fidelity in exchange for a certain style of sound.

If you live where there are wide swings in the grid voltage, some form of surge suppression and voltage regulation is highly advisable - particularly if you are running expensive and/or hard to replace equipment. Fried gear never sounds good.

What do you consider a wide swing? Where I am, in bc Canada, our voltage is usually between 115-119. Voltage fluctuations like this won’t effect sound quality, or noise floor, it just has a small effect on the headroom.

A lightning strike isn't a power surge. Lightning comes in through the ground. A surge suppressor can't stop it. And yes, I know most of them say they do, but you have to read the fine print. Its not what you think.

Good to know. Thanks for sharing:)

What about voltage regulator

Sometimes a cleaner way for cable plugs in the open room is more important than a claim as this. Plus one should test their power 1st and see if they need a conditioner.

Some Issues need to be present for there to be a difference. Sometimes it's that the issue may not exist, isn't changable at that stage or needs a different approch. Nice video though.

@@Get.Beautiful.Recordings it's galvanic isolation so it might work. I know it's a bad idea to use it with high powered amps & speakers but it's supposed to be great for other components like DACs, preamps and headphone amps.

Thanks for your video. I was wondering if it is helpful to have a power conditioner in a home theater A/V system? Does it give me better audio quality with it? I have purchased a WattBox Power WB-200-9HTR power conditioner. It says "provides clean, safe power and protects up to nine components from harmful power spikes and surges. Seven AC outlets on the rear panel are divided into three isolated banks to help prevent cross-interference between your components - and it includes a high-current outlet for your amplifier and subwoofer" Do you think this is worth buying in a home theater and just listening to music? If you havnt tested for this purpose can you ewcommend another quality youtube channel I could visit to see their input on power conditioners for audio quality? Thank you.

@@Get.Beautiful.Recordings I know the video was well intentioned, but you can't expect accurate results. You need to do a lot more testing before you come to any conclusions. Power products don't perform in a consistent manner. The audible differences between the same components can be big, small or none. If there is a difference, it may or may not be an improvement. People that review products like this typically have years of experience working with them. For example, a surge protector can't protect against a lightning strike. In the video you say it does. If someone takes your advice and gets a surge protector in case of a lightning strike, they now have zero protection. They were probably unplugging all their gear during a storm, and now they're not. There are other issues, as well, but my post can only be so long. If you have any specific questions, I'll try to answer them.

I doubt any of the devices shown will make any real world difference for people who don't crank their volume controls to max and hold their ears up close to their speakers, on MUSIC, at a specific setting that doesn't clip the amp when the music comes into the picture. Thanks for testing though.

Poor incomplete review and apparently no experience with good quality high end audio equipment. It’s not just about the “hiss”, but also clarity of instrument and voice details that come out when listening to music when a good power conditioner is used. Not everyone is into high end audio (and that’s ok) but proper awareness of what’s out there and what is possible is important
