Power cord feeding a power conditioner/regenerator
My Torus CS-15 claimed the same thing and every time I turned on a light or fan, I would hear a pop. So much for isolation...A regenerator should give true new clean power. There is still air-born RF interference generated from other electrical/el... 
Power cord feeding a power conditioner/regenerator
According to what Purepower does, it shouldn't require anything special coming into it.[http://www.purepoweraps.com/regen.htm] 
Grounding question?
Did you find out if the neighbors get this same interference too. 
Which is a better choice? New, or used preamp?
I'd go used. If you choose right, you'll get more for your money.

Grounding question?
I guess anything is possible. I never lived by one. Your neighbors should have the same problem on some of their TVs too, I would think. 
What is "low ball"
01-02-11: Polk432when I was working, and have been lucky enough NEVER to have paid retail for anything in my life. NEVER will either. I'll go without as long as I have to, but cash is still King and the sellers will finally give in. I'm happy Enou...

Maybe THIS THREAD qualifies Polk432 for a Foot in Mouth Award. 
Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M
Gag1101,No, going by their history. A $99 speaker shouldn't do that. Listen to them. If you like them, go for it. 
Ungrounded power cord: Will I die?
02-01-12: KijankiTheir logic is a little fuzzy. It makes me curious about how much some of these companies know about power grid, cords, and other products they make. Any electrical engineer knows about the risk.Maybe this was brought to their att... 
Ungrounded power cord: Will I die?
In reference to PS Audio, their newer products I found contain a safety warning about the ground. Links [http://www.psaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/HumbusterIII_-Manual.pdf][http://www.psaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/P3001.pdf] [http... 
Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M
Docks, they didn't test the other speakers where they produce that offensives ringing either. I can't stand to be in the room with them, and I've seen other people that have a problem with their speakers also. Again, I would go toward a high-end s...

Ungrounded power cord: Will I die?
