The Q of a multipole filter is dependant on the effective load. Lightly loaded filters can actually peak and increase noise at a pole. Larger loads eliminate those peaks and increase the slople of filtering. I assume this is why Jon Risch suggests loading his filter with a incandesant lightbulb.

A simple test would be to plug a lamp with a 100watt incandescant bulb into the conditioner. See if you subjectively prefer the filter's benefits with the light on or off.
