How do you tell how dirty your power is?

Guys, I have seen what my ac looks like on a scope, and I have tried many, many devices that are intended to improve your power. The ultimate question is whether the device improves your sound. I worry that measures, such as that with the PS Audio Powerplant's meter, may only capture one aspect of the problems with your electrical service.

I had a Noise Sniffer and many of their active devices that you plugged into circuits that had high noise on them. In each instance when I plugged the device in the noise dropped. I did this until I exhausted the eight devices I had purchased. When I listened to my music, it was quieter and totally uninvolving. I began removing devices near my audio and found the sound improved with each I removed. I thought that surely those in remote locations would have only positive results, but I was wrong. I sold everything. What was the Noise Sniffer measuring, and why was removing it harmful to the life of the music?

I know fullwell that your experiences may differ from mine. I always advise people to let the new improvement settle in for a while and then remove it. If you lose the magic, reinstall it. If you regain the magic, sell the device. I have sold or tried to sell probably 40 such devices over a long career in audio.

You need the Clever Little AC Power Analyzer. It appears to be a set of plain old television rabbit ears but in reality accurately detects the quality of your ac power. Place it near the outlet in question for 12 hours and then very carefully move it outside to the location at which AC power enters your residence. Make sure the wind is blowing at least 20MPH. After 24 hours if the rabbit ears are facing north/south and it is an even numbered date, your power is fine. It they are facing east/west, your power is suspect. On odd numbered dates, the wind must be over 40MPH and the north/south and east/west positions must be reversed.

If the wind speed is such that the rabbit ears move, the use of magic pebbles to anchor them is suggested.

Let us know how this shakes out for you.

Bill, sounds kind of complicated, is this a service that can be provided by Audiofeil International?

No.

It is far beyond my technical expertise.

However, there is another vendor advertising here far more qualified than me.

In fact he might even be an MD.

One aspect not mentioned is that the manufacturer designs and tests the equipement.
Do they test with "perfect sine wave power? Or the power coming out of the labs socket?
My adventures in power conditioning lead me to believe that some scuzz in the power IS NEEDED!! to sound the way the manufacturer intended.
Too clean and thin a sine wave and the sound becomes as said! "lifeless"
This is a difficult area to know just what the designer used for power: clean? dirty?
