[QUOTE="Nico V, post: 1099586, member: 14581"] The origin of my original Q was not really directing at surge protection, although I do appreciate every bit of advice. Thanks again. Thing is, our grid feed is so unstable that, apart from the fridges and alarm system, we leave everything unplugged and only plug it in when used. Inconvenient yes. But it?s either that or 3x new microwaves p.a. Surge protectors help once, maybe twice. So I think that settles that. My Q is more around the quietness / noise floor of the equipment. My Bryston was dead quiet at the chap?s home where I bought it. Here it?s got a hiss. The same with the iFi (worse actually - here you can actually hear the Hz). It?s not mechanical. The only items not affected are the Rotel amp and Marantz cd player. I was hoping I could reduce the ?noise? from the grid and perhaps also get some purer sine-waves. Except for the ifi the average age of my kit items is around 20 years. So, in short, will such a conditioner address the noise, is what I?m wondering. [/QUOTE]
