"Cause I don't have an RFI problem, and even if I do it's inconsequential enough that 1) I'm not aware of it and 2) I've never had any symptoms that would make me want to investigate."

Most people are unaware of electrical problems, such as noise, until they have heard them mitigated. Take RF for instance, U certainly aren't aware of it thru ones system, but once it's effectively removed, a layer of grunge seems to have been wiped away.

"I use a PS Audio Power Director. It's my understanding that the baluns block this noise from entering and passing from outlet bank to outlet bank. All of my outlets are full, so I'd have no place to hang this necklace."

The Baluns block the noise on the Line and Neutral lines but does nothing for the Earth GND. which is where ALOT of noise is riding on the AC and is entering ones system.

If U want a good demostration of RF noise reduction, procure some Ferrite clamps and pop the hood on the Power director. Place the clamp around the Earth GND. wire where it enters the PD and sit back for a listen.

Report back with your findings and no it will NOT void your warranty :-)
