My son in law was a electronics tech for the Navy, he now works for a company in Norfolk that updates USN ships. We talk shop once in a while in general as most of what he knows is classified. It seems though when on duty while traveling all over he straightened out many a church sound system where he was a member.
I'm surprised nobody has pointed out the obvious.
To do power conditioning right, one must first power shampoo.

This post takes serious issue with the advice that keeping the gain down will make a 4 ohm load "OK"I had that was a no no. I'll google it.
I have heard that if a neighbor is electric welding or using heavy workshop equipment this can induce some kind of interference to your house electrical.
Here is one solution: I had a major voltage variation issue because my setup in the bush relies on generator power and the turntables responded to the fluctuations by changing the motor speed and therefore the pitch of the sound.
Having looked at several options and getting a stupid quote for a mains regenerator - would you believe over $3k? A regenerator is NOT the same thing as a "power conditioner" that will not do what you want it to do.The former rectifies AC to DC,then back to AC
The solution was actually very simple. Both the house and the (separate) office are wired for 12V DC as well as mains. Deep cycle batteries are kept charged by the generator and simple battery chargers whenever the generator is on. If you do not have 12V pre-wired, no problem. Put the battery and charger outside where it can gas without doing harm and run a cable to the inverter with an extension cord
At each location, a pure sign wave inverter costing just $A80 plugs into the 12V circuit, then the turntable draws pure 230V AC power from the inverter. NO MORE POWER FLUCTUATIONS!
