Non sound altering power conditioners

Posted by: Got Hi-Fi? on 13 April 2016

Is there anything I can use to keep the hum out of my HC that is caused by dimmers and other things in my house? Will a power conditioner even solve this? or an Emotiva CMX 2? ..... without affecting over all sound quality of my system?

I have the Audience Adept, and I have Supercap that hums. Naim's response was, "Yeah, Supercaps do that."

Here's hoping that replacing fluorescents fixes your problem. It's certainly a cheaper way to go than the AAR.

FWIW, I don't think the Audience purports to condition power. I think it's a very big, very expensive power strip that makes my system sound better. AVOptions is selling something else now.

All my Naim kit is plugged into a PS Audio P10 power regenerator (which I understand to be different from a power conditioner).

No adverse effect on the sound - instead, an incredible improvement.
