Power conditioners/regenerators advice

I figure there's conversion at each end. Actually, yes, I am somewhat '90s! I gather there's conversion at each end. One thing I just read suggests that the power comes from the hdmi source, and is carried on copper wire to the converter at the receiver end.

Sorry, I guess this thread isn't called HDMI in the 21st Century For Dummies!

 

I pointed out that my buzz sound coming from right monitor came from pre are too close to noise source, not power related but anything is possible.

I wish to see your systems someday, mr gatekeeper.

 

Forgive the “resurrection here”, but couldn’t find any existing thread on the route I’ve gone for years:

Tice PowerBlock/Titan. I remember when these first became available (it was around 1989 or so IIRC), and at the time I was using my Oracle TT, with SME arm into an ARC SP3A (tube) preamp, into my (then) Adcom 555 Amp to my Vandersteen 2C’s… I heard it at my then local High End Dealer, where it was making various combo’s of CJ, ARC, ML and Apogees sound just, amazingly clear. (Seems folks here might say “plankton rich”). Anyways… my friend got a set (his system then was an AR SP6, driving Krell KSA250’s feeding Martin Logan Electrostats, front end: VPI with a Southern TriQuartz linear tracking arm. We both thought the improvements were much like the changes were heard when we subbed in Kimber KCAG (pure silver) interconnects between his Pre and Power ap… added clarity, deeper black ground, etc.
Keep in mind we were 100% analog then.

So, the “bit was set”. But, it was a TON of money, and, frankly when I shortly thereafter got my “life system” (see sig, still have), didn’t really consider I needed it.

Fast forward over 30 years, and several moves since. I saw a use pair in a western Mass HiEnd stereo store in Northampton. They were asking $300. I said, f-yeah! And snagged em.

Been using them ever since (about 8 years now).

Observations:
1. If you need any kind of isolation; these are amazing
2. If you suffer from improper line voltage, these’ll fix it
3. They DO hum, but not ridiculously so; frankly I don’t hear it unless I get within 2-3 feet AND have nothing playing and house is silent.
4. I like the 6 outlets they provide on the back

Other general observation on this topic/learnings over the years:
1. Try to never have Analog and Digital circuitry on the same circuit; the more you can isolate them from one another, the better
2. Always try to get who where your entire playback chain is star-grounded (to prevent ground loops). Cheaters can be your friends here
3. I’ve tried the PS regenerators, and several other “advanced” (glorified outlet strips). I thought none didn’t have disadvantages that outweighed the advantages, and especially so given the PRICING.

I’ve no desire to try out today’s expensive (4 digit upwards) fancy-schmancy power conditioning gear. Rather spend the money and time on more LP’s, or CD’s, etc.
