Yes - that is absolutely the way to go - star grounding is good.
Anyone who has been in a band or a (badly wired) studio will have
experienced what you are talking about.

In my experience, dedicated lines, (use ceramic fuses by the way, all
else sounds markedly worse), and good power cords does the trick, and
no conditioner I have tried has done anything than make the sound worse
in that context. Also, in that context replacing any single cord with a
stock cord is

I have something simliar (a bit chunkier) feeding my power amp. Very
noticeably better than without. And cheap too!
Does anybody have experience with these:

I have a dedicated power outlet line from the main breaker feeding a
very basic Furman power conditioner:

The dedicated line makes a noticeable difference. Before I could "hear"
the lights going on/off.
As far as ground loop

I once was a tech in lab that unknown to me had voltage difference
between the grounds of two circuits. One guy plugged a tape recorder
into one outlet and the source into another. It blew the inputs to the
recorder. I found a voltage between the grounds on the two outlets.

Nope...this is simply putting a power conditi
So, I just picked up a Monster HTS5100 mkii in a good deal.
Would having such a power conditioner between the house power and the
devices be considered equivalent to having a dedicated circuit or
high-grade outlet?

It is against code because you can have a voltage difference between
two independent grounds. Never a good idea to have multiple earth

So the only way to do this legally and safely is to run some 000

I think the noise gets attenuated along the length of the wire it
travels from the source (say washing machine) to the circuit breaker
box and from there dow

Yes, and in fact, US electrical code requries that all breakers tie
back to the same ground.

I guess a ring would be more flexible as to how many bits plug into

When I get asked about power conditioners, I usually ask if they have
