I was wondering the the other day while looking at the test results for several PSUs with regards to noise/ripple on the power if running the mains supply through some form of mains filter before the PCs PSU would make any difference?
For the past 6-7 years I've been running my main rig off of one of these -

I inherited a few of them when we retired a load of video conference units and I've adapted them to other uses.
So I'm just wondering if the test results for PSUs would differ if the mains went through a mains filter before the PSU. Would it improve matters? I guess a decent UPS would do the same. Clean smooth power means a happy PC!
Certainly hasn't appeared to have a detrimental effect on my setup. I realise that there is a similar level of filtering in most PSUs but would 'doubling up' help?
