Obviously the point I made is: any degradation in signal quality happenning entirely due to design sins found internal to a piece of gear would be completely irrelevant.
My comments remain on the AC in a typical home, not a component's power supply. The sins to which I refer are the various sources of noise generated back into your AC line by all sorts of digital devices that live within modern homes like computers, routers, access points, DVD/CD players, TiVOs, mobile and cellular phones, etc.
While you are listening to tunes unplug this conditioner you have from the grid over several hours listen to see if there is ever a difference in sound quality.
The problem with your experiment is that it assumes there is only one variable - the grid - which is not the case. Regardless of the quality of the grid, there is always a difference in my environment due to internally generated noise.
