Few people realize that the AC power is typically polluted, filled with electromagnetic interference and radio frequency noise that can degrade performance, and sometimes creates hum, buzz, or static. Furthermore, unpredictable power surges and voltage spikes can damage sensitive electronics beyond repair. This unbalanced, unstable, dirty power jeopardizes performance by limiting each component's capabilities, resulting in inferior audio clarity and reduced dynamic range, along with imprecise imaging and diminished color detail and sharpness.
