IMHO the need for "power conditioning" is tied to how we distribute power and audio signals. We need to get away from the idea of our power/signal traveling through a grounded conducter.

Everyone understands how balanced audio can help reject noise. Some might argure that it isn't required in the home environment but I doubt many would say it hurts. By the same token we should be running our power in a "balanced" distribution system. In American this is cheap and easy. Simply rewire your gear to use 240VAC and plug it into the correct wall outlet. If your gear can use 240VAC then you have to spend money and buy a center tapped transformer.

It does make a difference. Do remember that we typically "create" the noise on the power lines and that it isn't "made" at the local utility.

P.S. I owe some an apology but the good news is I did find that CD and should be able to mail it on Monday.
