Break your power supply challenge

[David A]

 To discuss that please go to the power conditioners thread https://devialetchat.com/Thread-Power-di...onditioner

Most of my comment above was directed to the point that your challenge will not prove anything.

Showing that if you go out of your way, you can add noise to the sound you get by plugging lots of noisy devices into the same power circuit as your audio system does not tell you whether the power you feed to your audio system normally, ie without all those noisy devices added, will benefit from a power conditioner.

If you want to be able to show that a system benefits from power conditioning, you do not need to show that you can add noise to it's output by running devices you don't normally use while listening. What you need to show is that removing noise from the power you feed to your system under normal conditions makes things sound better, in other words you need a way of demonstrating that subtracting noise that is normally present on the line makes an audible difference, not that you can make an audible difference by adding noise to the line.

The result of this challenge will prove nothing at all because even if everyone who tries it reports that they can do something to add noise and make the sound they hear worse, that does nothing at all to show that there is normally noise present on the power going to their system which has an audible effect or that adding a power conditioner under normal conditions makes an improvement and those are the 2 questions which need to be answered to everyone's satisfaction. The results of this challenge do not do anything to help us answer those 2 questions.
