It's like you've been fed this line so long you actually believe that there isn't a higher standard which could/should be strived for. To me your logic is the equivalent of the following: as long as we are still making money as a lumber mill it is OK that bandsaw operators are lopping off fingers on our bandsaw that had the safety guard removed to improve throughput since we can always send them to the hospital to be rpaired as long as we dig the finger out and sew it back on quick enough.
Don't you think the problem of "grid issues" would be more effectively solved by redirecting the efforts of designing the worlds most perfect band aids toward designing equipment which doesn't require a band aid in the first place?

I have to ask if you even know who you are responding too here and why?

Where did *I* do that?

All I did was show that a few manufacturers of Power conditioners that are marketed toward the high end did in fact list relevant specs contrary to what the previous poster was asserting. Why are you babbling about band saws, band aided and grid issues?
This thread is a perfect example....
Your response to theaudiohobby's complaint
"But as you may have guessed, many audiophile vendors leave their spec's up to the users' imagination. "
is nothing but power conditioner specs to which I respond (quoted below), obviously jumping to the conclusion you were posting examples of audiophile vendors truly supplying complete specs on their audio equipment by supplying very complete specs to some power conditioners as a counterargument to theaudiohobby's original claim:
"Lumping power conditioner manufacturers into the group called "audiophile vendors" sounds like a sick joke to me."
to which you've responded with the intelligence revealing gem:
"Where did *I* do that?"
LOL! good stuff just like the other thread you bring up! Unfortunately, for me the comedy has likely now played its course. At least others who read this will understand why I stop responding here in the absence of the addition of at least a small kernel of an intelligent argument even if you don't Scott.
Cheers buddy. Thanks again for a good chuckle. Seriously.

Dude, seriously, what are you sniffing? More to the point who are you quoting? This is audiohobby's post to which i responded in whole.

** What is the technical basis for power conditioning, AC purifiers, etc.? **
Power factor correction, voltage spikes, surges, RFI and EMI. Ironically many of the garden variety products specify their capability in these areas. But as you may have guessed, many audiophile vendors leave their spec's up to the users' imagination.
Compare Furman spec (mainstream )

to Shuntaya's (audiophile)

** I have also read quite a few posts stating that a high quality power supply should isolate a component from AC issues. **
Some probably do, but as with many other audiophile products with zero (or near zero) specs, there is little guidance. Stuff like power factor correction, and surge suppression are fairly standard stuff that should be specified. I will rather go with mainstream mfr on stuff like this, an ineffective product could prove very costly in the event of real AC issue."
Dude, get a clue!!!!!!
> > Dude, get a clue!!!!!! < <
Scott, in order to have a clue, you need to have ACTUAL AUDIO experience, and considering that Ugly always bases his "opinions" on nothing more than speculation ... well ... your asking far too much of him.
TB1
Whatsa matta loser? You hafta resort to personal insults since you have nothing to offer in the form of technical input? Classy! At least Scott is trying....
your instantly defensive, perhaps I struck a nerve.
OK ... Mr. Ugly, the subject is AC based noise reduction within an audio environment, so exactly how many PLCs have you heard to form your 'em ... informed opinion?
trying
TB1
OOOoo. Whos getting defensive?No need to ruin my sound and listen to your crappy PLC's. I am achieving rated SNR and have no known noise issues beyond what is expected from the equipment I use during normal low volume listening sessions. Why would I insert something guaranteed to have a negative impact on signal quality if it isn't needed? The only issues that mys system won't filter by design are extreely low frequency, ie brown outs, etc and show up more as a temporary reduction of dynamic range capabilities rather than a noise you might hear. I could help you design a system that allows you to reach your noise goals too but it'll cost you about $120 an hour including tax, and then you could use your PLC's for boat anchors like they are better at doing.
To put it another way. You can't afford the PLC setup I'd need to make an actual improvement in my system and neither can I. It would probably be cheaper to set up an alternative power source in my case as the power draw can approach several KW during peak transients. The ways I am often inclined to listen, while sipping a beer on the neighbors porch for example, will often require nearly that in RMS power as well.
> > To put it another way. < <
Well, Ugly, thats the beauty of living in your complete fantasy world, you can "put it" anyway you want.
TB1
I can see that your technical prowess will just be too much for me to overcome. Uncle.
As I suspected, not only are you stuck with trying to communicate using babay talk, it appears that any sentence more complex than a few words will throw you for a loop. Here is a hint: read my posts slowly and several times. What I said makes sense to those who understand English. Is English even your native language?
I'd rather be water boarded.
Suit yourself.
