IF my AC wiring and outlet are performing poorly because of acoustic interference, then couldn't I just reduce the volume a little and hear the AC quality get better? I think I can tell the difference between overloading the room and improving the electronics. I also think it would be worth knowing if I have a problem before I attemp to fix it.Ordinarily I would just do an A/B swap, or, tweak and untweak to find out for myself. But it takes several hours to do an outlet change/tweak. I have to take components out of my rack to get access to the AC outlet, and then put it all back together again. At that point, who would know what I really changed?
Anyway, I think this is a reasonable question for those of you who claim that acoustic vibrations deteriorate the quality of the AC mains. I am not trying to be a "non believer", I just want to know what I am supposed to be listening for before I tear it all apart again. I think its a fair question.
Hope that clears things up a bit. Thanks for putting up with me.
Best,
QE
