Yes, Romy, it is certainly an info-mercial first, with all the usual flash/buzz "facts" in play. Also, although all "studios" I know of are "balanced", many of the "hot-rod" studio guys also use all sorts of "power conditioneers". For one thing, it is not a given that a piece of equipment will run properly off balanced power. For another thing, if they are using balanced power in the first place, then why do they need the power conditioners?
The thing I found most interesting in the piece was the explanation about contamination of the neutral/ground wire by the gear that's on the line. Although this gibes with my own experience, it hardly addresses those rare days when the electricity is good and I simply get a free pass on all the theoretical BS, like none of it is happening at that time, or who cares if it is, since it doesn't hurt the sound at the time.
Best regards,
