Funny thing happened after my neighbor moved.

My neighbor who had lived at his house for 19 years  moved to Indianapolis, Ind about a week ago.

He and his wife had taken care of nice garden on 2 acres house here.

But after having gone through cancer treatment, he (86 years old)has one or two years left according to his doctor.

His wife (87 years young) is healthy with 10 more years left.

Thus he had decided to move closer to his only son.

He got a one acre house at 5 five miles from his son’s house.


He had been very friendly since I moved to my house 7 years ago.

Thus I miss he and his wife very much.


But funny thing happened!

After he moved out, sound out of my audio system got more clean.

Is it because of absence of RF or EMI noise generated by my neighbor.

New neighbor who bought the house will use the house as second home.


If that is so, is this good news to my audio system?

I had lived in Berkeley from 1982 to 1989.

Thus I have fond memory of North Cal.

But with too frequent forest fire and high tax, I have no intention to move there.

I am considering two options.

The first one is to have second home at Florida or Arizona.

The second option is to travel around the world during rainy season.

well you know what the Eagles sang ; “ every form of refuge has it’s price”..... 

people who think they need power conditioners often don’t understand how they can rearrange loads on different legs of the main panel, get motors and compressors OFF the audio leg if possible. Not usually expensive even using an electrician. Wall warts and switching supplies do belong on a quality dedicated conditioner ON a dedicated circuit.

finally use your trust spl meter to measure your listening room signal to background noise at five or six points in the day thru nite cycle...you might be shocked....the myth of better power at night just might be better signal to noise...your milage may vary..

Thanks for your advice.

I will try  that.

Since my house is located in rural area, the quality of electricity is not so bad.

Recently I had paid more attention to headphone and IEM so that I can enjoy music out of town.
