Isolation for power line conditioner?

I could be wrong, but I doubt adding isolation or coupling to your passive power line conditioner will have any effect on the sound of your system. I notice that of the above responses nobody has actually said it made a difference in their setups.

Good analogy Stehno, but you're contradicting one of your earlier posts. Either "every component is near equally susceptible to capturing air-borne vibrations" or they're not. I see no logical reason to except cables. Even though I say it somewhat mockingly, why wouldn't a house's main electrical panel be susceptible to the same claimed improvements heard by isolating and/or mechanically grounding a power line conditioner. The electric panel is just as much in the music signal loop as is the power conditioner.

Am I the only one would finds Theaudiotweak's comment about the effect of Sistrum platforms on circuit gain as absurd? As audiophiles are we so desperate for performance improvements that we'll accept any claim, no matter how lacking in logical explanation, as potentially true?

Interesting comments by all, although I take with a grain of salt the comments by Warren and Tbg about the "substantial" and "significant" levels of improvement offered. It's been my experience that in a well put together system that a substantial or significant improvement in sound reproduction quality is not so easily achieved. Regardless of the level of improvement, even if you mechanically ground the audio component and mechanically ground the power conditioner, then isn't the power cord between the two just flapping in the breeze of those deleterious airborne vibrations (also know as music)? Clearly if you truly believe in mechanical grounding then you'll have to address this issue.

Can anybody comment on the experiences with using isolation or grounding techniques on the main electrical junction boxes.

The reason for my seemingly contrarian nature in this thread stems from the fact that Centurymantra already had a form of isolation under his power conditioner and the responses indicated that he would reap substantial and significant benefits by switching to an alternative form of isolation (or mechanical grounding). Some even offered explanations as to why their recommended alternatives would work better. My harping on the cables and electric panel is to simply point out a weak area in their explanations. If vibration is a problem, then address it everywhere. Anything with mass is subject to the forces of external vibration, cables included. And yes, basements filled with mechanical equipment (furnaces, water heaters,, well pumps, etc.) subject the electric panel to vibration. Or just maybe, the farther away you get from components (I use the term all exclusively) that are directly in the audio signal path, the less benefit isolation becomes. Is it totally unreasonable to suppose that a power conditioner is far enough out of the signal path to not warrant sophisticated isolation techniques? If it's not, then where do you stop?

If my name is a disservice it's a disservice to Sunnyland Slim. Mr. Dylan only revisited the highway which originally Sunnyland rode. Also, what I lack is gullibility.
