are all power conditioners noisy?

I just received a powervar, and I don't know why I didn't think of it before, but this stonkin' big transformer hums!
I've read reviews where they complain abount the amount of fan noise in some companies products.
To me, the power conditioner adding background noise- even though it's not coming out of the speaker, is very distracting.
Is there such a thing as a silent power conditioner, or should I just give up?

BPT units are DEAD quiet and offer balanced power in all kinds of doses.
As they should be for a street price difference of $1000+ over the Powervar or OneAC units.

BTW, I tried a BPT 3.5 Signature, and it was indeed dead quiet.

24phun, nothing should hold you back now except, perhaps, your wallet. There's oodles of drop dead quiet power conditioners out there. I should know; I own one of them. But not for long....

Hard to believe. I'm down sizing to the Mini digital for my front end and I have a Hydra 2 for my analog. That ain't chopped liver, but it's no Eclipse. I had professional counseling and I'm told I will be all right..lol.. Saving for the APL Denon 3910 or the Exemplar 3910. Can't decide. Nice to have these high class problems...peace, warren :)
