Just a small bedroom vintage-modern system I put together, not reference.
No surprise. Putting Mickey Thompson slicks on a VW bug won’t improve its performance either.
Line Conditioning and possible ground issues?
I get the notion that many power conditioners no matter brand or cost cannot correct and do their intended jobs if for faulty-improper wiring and/or lack of proper ground. Is this correct?
Some of these Conditioners also have some various other add on "Ground Gizmos", "(groundmaster-etc-etc) but again, what about without correct wiring-grounding?
Moral of the post, I guess, is "don't expect bandaids to repair larger existing issues".

I did a panel upgrade a year ago and I think I heard an improvement of sound, I.E. a darker sound stage, the instruments clarity improved. The new panel had better earth grounding and a couple of connections to earth. My power conditioners have always been PS audio, and I believe that no matter when it has no good grounding, the improvements are marginal at best

To avoid being held responsible I want to state my recommendations really simply. From where the OP is his best solution is to hire a licensed electrician to check the wiring from the breakers to the receptacle and install a properly wired 3 prong outlet. This is what's going to be best for life safety and the safety of his equipment, and to ensure any surge protectors work completely correctly. |
Agree with @erik_squires.
