Power filtering reduces distortion

The power coming down the AC line is suppose to be either 50 or 60 cycles. It is not suppose to have RF and noise riding along with it. We know, if fact, that there is noise on the AC line. All noise is distortion...distortion is a form of noise....either measured or noticed with our ears. This is the whole purpose of line conditioning....to remove the noise and distortion. The MSA power cords are power line conditioners built into a power cord. What people are describing is a lowering of noise (distortion). If you do not filter it then it gets amplified and radiated by the components down stream....and....into your ears.

So, a power line conditioner or in this case a power cord with a line conditioner built in can lower noise and DISTORTION. This is not snake oil talk.
