Let us suppose that one manufacturer figures out what the grid is doing and how to solve it - in his own amps/preamps/DAC. Does that help us? Only if we happen to like their products...
As the "high end" market is truly sick, the solution is always to throw (a lot) more money at the issue - without even knowing what he core problem is. The words "transients", digititis, or even "regenerator" are freely used without regard to what is happening.
In my world, a "high end" amplifier has an "excessive" power supply to cover any operating condition without ever running out of steam. In this case the effects of the grid are "additive" - they can pollute if the power supply cannot filter.
I think that there may be something else. The most reports of negative grid effects seem to be from 110V/120V grid fraction - not from Europe with 220-240V.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
