That's a very apt quote. The way I look at things like this is: Do recording studios go to the same lengths? After all, if the effect is real, and the studio didn't do something to mitigate it, then it's going to be on the track regardless of what you do in playback at home. Much more so, even, because of the gain stages involved when recording a microphone signal.
(Spoiler alert: Recording studios do not install their own power poles. What they do, though, is install isolated ground circuits.)
- retrogradeorbit 8y agoIndeed they do. Some high end studios install balanced power. Which is more involved than just a power pole.
- justtopost 8y agoMost larger studios have a huge isolation trasformer for the whole set of studio circuits, and then smaller local filters like furmans. Balanced wiring as noted, also occasionally makes an appearance, but is less common. I run a dedicated ground. I personally use 3 transformers, and 3 filters (one capacitance, 2 mot). Not all in series mind you, but digital and analog gear are on seperate circuits, and a 3rd for hybrid designs (yay 80s synths). Analog recoding is sensitive to power in a huge way, but listening is seldom as affected. Note all studios use balanced audio, while most 'audiophile' crap is still unbalanced.
