First, the R-C tweak Al describes is very effective and dirt cheap! If you do it the easy way it takes all of 5 minutes.Second, there are R-C versions for parallel filtering that DO work wonders on AC and are also dirt cheap. BE CAREFUL; ELECTRICITY CAN KILL!!
Third, most power conditioners have a mixed reputation, because of what they do to dynamics, regardless of price. And when you look inside some of these expensive jobs, as some inmates have and have posted the pix, you'd laugh at what you're paying for. But Al posted how to use an ordinary transformer with another R-C on the secondaries to make a cheap parallel AC filtering device that is quite effective.
How do I know this? I've been using them on my rig since Al showed me how to make them and they damn well work exactly as he says they do.
I do agree with you wholly that AC filtering done correctly and vibration controls are indeed great on sonics. So are room acoustical tweaks, which you didn't mention. These don't negate the R-Cs on the speaker terminals - the impact is cumulative and worth the effort.
