Power conditioners

[tomjackson]

I seem to get a lot of noise from the power in my house, mainly from the BT Broadband In line adapters that mig my earthing system.  Also at my mates house where he has 300 plugs and reams of cable everywhere.

Would one of these help?

I was going to get an isolated power supply for my effects but just tried my new BoR clone with a battery and as soon as you up the gian you get the same thing, nasyt broadband noise screetching through the amp.
I'd just turn it off but usually somebody is using it.....

But as a general thing do power conditioners help?

I live in an old victorian end terrace and do have noise issues coming from the mains power supply.

As a rule I tend to have circuit breakers and/or those power conditioner type extension cablee and they do help somewhat. I have 1 of these http://www.dv247.com/studio-equipment/samson-powerbrite-pb10-rackmount-power-conditioner-and-distribution-unit--47392 left over from when I used to have rack gear and it gets rid of about 95% of the noise and interference.

That's the exact one I have, and it's great. Get it and don't look back :)

not sure what the difference to that strip is, or how effective each (strip or IEC) are. just letting you know they exist.
