A Gift for Music Lovers Who Have It All: A Personal Utility Pole
Japan's extreme audiophiles install private power sources to generate 'pure' electricity; 'Queen is in this room'
Follow Ups:
Enough panels, and a bank of batteries so you can create your own clean power, store it on site, then through a DC/AC converter and regulator to your equipment ?
Completely free of the power grid ! If you use Class A SE DHT amplifiers, you can probably calculate how long it would take to amortize the investment.
Seriously, why not solar ?
...if you cryogenically treat the sun first! :)

.......I just bought the decommissioned Colorado Public Service Company's coal fired Cameo power plant along with the idle coal mine across the hiway and ran a dedicated power line for the seven mile distance to my home so I can feed my audio gear clean uninterrupted power.
Take that, you extreme Japanese audiophiles ;-)
Baaaah! You think that's bad? I smuggled a deactivated Russian nuclear power plant into the country and now it's my personal audio power plant. OK, so the cats and the dog glow a bit at night and I think I'm growing an extra set of arms but you should hear the clean highs and deep chunky bass! :-)
Best regards, Ralph
I ran a 100' deep cable for 1557 miles and tapped into a some guy's source that's a deactivated Russian nuclear power plant that he somehow smuggled into the US!!!
oops...
It was actually 120' deep.

It's cool, this sucker puts out so much power I can power up most audio systems in the US. Gotta do something about all this radiation around here though.
Best regards, Ralph

Life is sweet when you belong to a forum with humor this good.
The entire article was open and free yesterday (Sunday), but locked down today, Monday.
Wouldn't a good power regenerator accomplish the same thing, and maybe even better, for a LOT LOT less money and hassle?
Most regenerators give a cleaner than wall output. But still only reduce the problems, not totally remove them.
A percentage.. So say the wall is 14% bad.. The regen is say 5%
Where if the wall was starting at 7% the regen output would be maybe 3%
It's just too bad about that WSJ paywall. I was a subscriber to the print edition when Murdoch reneged on his pledge to make the digital edition free to print subscribers. I dropped it and never looked back.
...I subscribe to print edition and the e version is part of it. OTOH, I get no great deal on my subscription price as most expect these days. i.e. Not like Stereophile for <$10.00/yr as many around here claim they pay.
read the article.

Very cool- SamA.
This world economy of great discrepancies between who has and who wants and the
incredible service industry that has developed to tend to the whohas, human pedal generated
electricity in house would be the way to go.
No dependency on a grid, clean, pure electricity (marketed as artisan?), very greenish, supports
the microlocal economy and, if connected to the right gym, possibly a source of free current when
all is said and done.
Screw having a utility pole and being dependent on whichever bureaucracy supports/tends it.
Have your own in house crew of strong legged, healthy current builders.
Then audiophiles can discuss/argue about who REALLY has the best electricity.

I just had a dedicated line put in a few months ago.
these guys got the right idea, I couldn't see how I could go about getting a personal transformer however, too much red tape.
But there's a nuclear reactor for sale just down the road from where I live. Better than your own power pole.

I thought about saying something similar before, getting your own nuke plant...
happy listening :)
