No noise w Guitar/Audio Interface any longer
I have a basic 1st gen Focusrite Scarlett interface with a guitar plugged into it. For ages I couldn't understand why some people on YouTube have managed to get good tones with various Amp Sims, my setup was just too noisy and fuzzy. I've tried with a DI Box, took care of clipping, nothing helped. I've installed this power conditioner and boom, the noise was gone. And I'm not talking about placebo effect: my girlfriend instantly noticed the difference without me giving her heads up. It's day and night.
In a nutshell: if you're living in an old building with shitty electricity, have a guitar and you'd like to use it with an audio interface only, you need to buy this thing.

Great PC for your project studio or gig
So I got to the point where I got a few outboard preamps and compressors. Everything hooked up directly into the mains outlet, plus the computer, the monitors and the console... You can imagine that's a quite noisy setup. It was time to finally get a power conditioner. Since I am not doing live gigs, I thought I don't need the ones with lamps on the front and the voltage meter display. Enter the Adam Hall AHPCS10. No bells and whistles just everything you need for smooth, noiseless operation and protection of your gear. They say the power conditioner is the least exciting piece of gear in your studio (absolutely true), but it's necessary. So, this particular PC may not have a lot of features, but it does exactly what you expected. No more EMI noise, and crackles from my speakers. The great thing is that it comes with 4 IEC cables included, so you don't have to spend extra money on them. Overall build and quality are excellent. I am very happy with this purchase and I expect to use it for many years to come.

Power for the rack
I use this to power the following devices:
- Power distributor (to power the pedalboard)
- Lexicon reverb
- Engl e840
- Engl e530
- Peavey Rockmaster
It is a super solid little 1u device that has 8 three pin connectors on the back to power your devices. There is also one on the front which is handy!
The power cable is not attached to the device which in my opinion is great as you may need to replace it due to wear or accidental crushing by heavy equipment xD Or even if you take it abroad, just plug a local power cable in and done.
It comes with a few power cables in the box so you can get started strait away. They are quite long so if you are powering devices in a rack, they are easily long enough.
It is currently doing it's job and I have nothing to moan about

Expensive 9 unit socket with very minimal real filtration
Looks good, works average, real functionality - poor.
There is only one throttle inside and several capacitors. This principal schematics is able to filtrate minimum of noises. It's almost the same with cheap domestic filters with sockets.
This is not bad device, but it don't worth its money I think.

It is the electrical heart of the studio. I connected my best quality and expensive devices to it. I am very satisfied. If you want to send healthy electricity to your devices, it is a price / performance product that you can choose with peace of mind.

Works as described
I live in a noisy neighbourhood... I mean that the EMI and RFI is so bad here that my amp modelers hiss, fizz and pop. Also, the voltage over here fluctuates substantially. Since plugging my modelers into the unit, the noise has pretty much gone. I'm impressed. It is built like a tank and will be installed into my 22 rack high cabinet soon.
