Measuring the Power Grid

Add Power injects something onto the power. Something of the such with intelligence to measure the noise and make a canceling amplitude might work. I do hear Addpower as some hash when your electrical supply is very dialed.

Canceling waves into the air for RF would also be nice.

Sure… clocking devices has been around since the Klingons appeared on Star Trek.

Filters, chokes, etc. have been common since about Marconi’s time, and decent power supplies and regulation, are the backbone of electronics.

And many components has proper boxes and not plexiglass tops, where one can put a cell phone down on it.
Then add in multilayer circuit boards with power and ground surrounding the circuits and it all gets more immune to RF.

There will always be edge cases where devices with point to point wiring are incompatible with the RF realities of a city, and a power conditioner will not likely be of a lot of help there.

Sorry, what is Add Power?
 

I spelled it wrong.

Thanks - it seems to be simply a mains isolation transfer with RF filtering and some calculated digital sourced harmonic noise added - probably just synchronized to the mains frequency. Only proper measurements will allow us to know what is hidden behind the marketing claims.

One of the reasons I respect companies like Taurus or Equi=Tech is their technical transparency - we know what we get.

Did you ean isolation transformer? I doubt it. Way to light. The Symphony I have is a smps and a small light box. I think its only added harmonic noise.

I use to like it a lot. When I had decent power but not fully optimized, it worked well. Once I was on a Torus isolation transformer with all copper, I heard the AddPowr adding some noise.
