Power conditioner

They had told me a noise sniffer showed the furman units to be far superior to other makes in the price range. I showed up and asked for a demonstration. They plugged the sniffer (calibrated at 60HZ) into an ac outlet and we heard a loud buzz. Next they opened two new furman units. Both produced the same loud buzz. The salesman got flustered and hurried over to the APC unit, plugged in the sniffer and - no buzz. He couldn't understand why I walked out without buying anything. I bought a $40.00 belkin surge suppressor. Power conditioning is farther down my priority list.
