Last night I was listening to Frank Zappa's Halloween DVDA when I realized the TV was distracting me, so I decided to turn it off. Whoa, all of a sudden the musical stage became noticebly more precise. I had always felt I was getting this weird image smear that was a result of the glass windows next to the left speaker; however, when I turned the TV off everything became more precise. The bass was significantly tighter with a nice slam. The midrange was smoother; although I never thought it to be harsh. It knid of freaked me out that I could hear such a dramatic change in the presentation.
I have not given much thought about a power conditioner, but given the events of last night, it would appear that at critical listening levels, with the TV (Pioneer Elite PRO630HD) on, that I may be experiencing some drop in voltage that is audibly effecting the quality of my listening. Would a balance power conditioner help this situation, because for concert videos you need the TV on . It's funny because I have recetnly nonticed how the transformer in my line conditioner hums when everything is on. To quote Roberto, "I trusted my ears."
What would you do?
