Does anyone notice occasional noisy poor sound during hot days in the summer? I notice this and wonder if it could be caused by other people’s air conditioners and fans etc on the ac grid. I find that I mostly get good sound but I notice this phenomenon occasionally in the summer on very hot days. D…

See anything ever written on the essential virtues of PS Audio regenerators.

I have read much about the PS Audio regenerators. Mostly good. I have a Keces balanced power conditioner which I find makes a nice improvement at a fraction of the cost of a regenerator.

Indeed the Puritan helps, and the Gryphon is a game changer. Just my opinion. The P15 I had was great, but unnecessary with my Pass Labs Amp.
