    Don’t forget the $10,000 silver power cable! https://liquidsound.ca/product/nordost-valhalla-2-power-cord/ https://liquidsound.ca/product/nordost-valhalla-2-power-cord... Yes, that’s a real product. "Unlike conventional power cables, which have propagation speeds that are less than 50% the speed of light, the Valhalla 2 Reference Power Cord has a speed of 91% the speed of light."

        I've always wanted to ask. Wouldn't putting a standard UPS between the outlet and the equipment solve the problem by powering the device from a battery?

          For a sufficiently high quality UPS with sine wave output, yes, I suppose so.
