In the February issue of Stereophile, I read a distressing article by Jim Austin (page 19) regarding the FCC's support of Broadband Over Powerline (BPL). It seems that the application of broadband transmissions to the powerline structure of our communities and homes will most likely impact our high-end audio equipment by introducing harmful, high-level, high frequency noise into the AC supply. What, if anything, is the audiophile community doing about this issue? Is there any action I can take? Is it a real threat to us audiophiles? Is there any data available? Also, are the power conditioning companies preparing for this potential onslaught? I'd appreciate any commentary or sources for more information. I have read extensively on the internet regarding the concept, but I haven't found much available from the audiophile perspective. Thanks for your responses. Marty Troum This is how the paranoia is spread amongst the Audiophools. A few more articles, selected readers letters and Joe Phool runs into the shop of his confidence and buys another "power conditioner". I can tell you, nothing the FCC supports can be worse than your old fridge, or your computer power supply. And we have learned to live with these too. The high frequencies are already filtered out by the transformer and capacitors and even if a little rest still rides on the speaker cable no tweeter would be able to transmit it into air, so what? -- ciao Ban Bordighera, Italy |
