I mean that anyone who has EVER considered getting a PSAudio Power Plant knows exactly what I am talking about.

I am almost of the opinion that quite low-end electronics and audio equipment can deliver quite good sound IF the AC was clean.

Really, nothing about Tesla nor the documentary. I was giving Tesla a tribute for having invented AC! Obviously, we would have nowhere the electrical infrastructure as we have today without it.

The AC quality of my home varies greatly and, fortunately, is leaps ahead of where it was at when I first moved in. Either that or my hearing is going and I'm fooling myself how good high-end audio can sound (even mid-fi audio). BTW, most of the audio shows I've attended have had atrocious sound quality to varying degrees IMO.

I was just putting two and two together and I've noticed that great tube equipment and class-A amplification probably treat this AC noise differently which is why it subjectively almost always sounds better (in those cases).
