Would anyone recommend taking antibiotics as I have heard that there exist some bad things which might happen to you which might become less bad if you take antibiotics and I was wonderign whether I might have one of those bad things and then it might get better which would be a good thing no?
Don't forgot Rockwell was pretty infamous for inventing Aliens !!That video is making me giggle uncontrollably.
I'm always a little bit cautious about 'The other places' conditioner reports as I think you need to check them with 'dirty' power in order to see how much they clean it. Start with relatively clean power in the fist place and I'm not sure you will see much difference between in and out.The other Sciencey place have measured several, re-generators/conditioners PSAudio, Isotek, Ifi etc I would check them out before I actually parted with any cash.

I would read the ( Isotek Aquarius) review/measurements again, any ‘filtering’ is at far too high a frequency.I'm always a little bit cautious about 'The other places' conditioner reports as I think you need to check them with 'dirty' power in order to see how much they clean it.

Humans are well known to be prone to worry about things. I understand doctors in general practice have a phrase for some who come to see them: "the worried well". Correspondingly, there are audio "problems" that might happen, but in rare cases. These provide fodder for journalists to write about, and for the audio industry to "cure".Would anyone recommend taking antibiotics as I have heard that there exist some bad things which might happen to you which might become less bad if you take antibiotics and I was wonderign whether I might have one of those bad things and then it might get better which would be a good thing no?
True- and some doctors will resort to providing a "treatment" for them.Humans are well known to be prone to worry about things. I understand doctors in general practice have a phrase for some who come to see them: "the worried well".
Kind of. The interesting point is that as an engineer you immedately know that a mains conditoner is (at best) only a potential solution to a particular problem. And that is ultimately the fallback rationale for such a device (when challenged). But in reality the mains conditioner is marketed to people and bought by them as a solution to the problem of needing to have something to sell and needing to have something to buy.Correspondingly, there are audio "problems" that might happen, but in rare cases. These provide fodder for journalists to write about, and for the audio industry to "cure".
Absolutely- it seems that for many people there is nothing in the slightest bit odd about asking whether a mains conditioner would be a useful upgrade and what it sounds like.Occasionally, when I have the time and facilities, I check out an issue (mains noise was one) and so far I have found that in my circumstances there was never any problem that needed curing. I now largely ignore molehill-sized or rare "problems" that get written about, and simply enjoy the music. But that's merely my experience and it's important to observe that others obviously enjoy the hobby differently.
I had one of those for a while. It was made for Nordost by Isotek, IIRC, using Nordost cable internally. Retail price was around £1000 new. You got a bargain!About 8 years ago I saw a large nicely finished silver metal box in an Ilford charity shop. What could that be I wondered? On closer inspection I saw it's top offered 6 3 pin mains sockets and I immediately thought that would be a neat way of powering the stereo. It felt ressuringly heavy and at £25 it would have been rude to not buy it.
When home I realised it was made by Nordost who I'd somehow formed a sort of snake oil cable merchant impression of. I saw that it is called a Thor 100R Power Consitioner and placed it on the lowest shelf of my rack where it has been ever since. The system sounds great but then I did have a dedicated Spur wired for the stereo when I moved here 17 years ago.

Perhaps more like taking remdesivir: most people take a jab to prevent a disease not in the hope that they have one and will consequently now feel better.Bit like the covid jab then?
Slightly concerned here ?.... lol. I have only one socket for power amp, so have one of my Michell Alectos plugged into ordinary socket on isotek. Been in a wk now and good as gold, but then thats presumably what they said about the titanic !!. Anyway, what do you think guys ?..... I m handing out disclaimers like confetti !!!I had a mini sub and done something similar to Flash. My problem was I got more than a flash, I had smoke and burning, turns out after sending the sub back to Isotek, they reckon that I must have had an over current amp plugged into one of the lower rated sockets. Needless to say the sub was not repaired or replaced as they only offered a 5% good will gesture on a new one!!
Beware and double check all your connections.
