I recommend you put some more emojis.
If he doesn't; I will paint my outlets same orange as yours!

They have to be molded that color. Otherwise they don't sound as good....get ready to be ridiculed by @Jim Taylor because he apparently did not carefully read what I carefully constructed (both recent replies).

How many dB reduction?

This is something you hear. It can't be measured.How many dB reduction?
Yes, I was joking. Of course.
I disagree! How many AP measurements show MAINs frequency rearing its ugly signature in the graphs.
Yes @Jim Taylor, we can argue it is -96.256dB down from the 1kHz test signal but it shows that it is not as invisible or (unheard
) as they should be.I think one of your consternation points was that the manufacturers' know best...?
phew... I really had no intentions of painting my outlets...Whew! You really had me goin' for a minute! I almost had a heart attack!

Those orange outlets look like the possessed screaming souls of ghouls. Frightening.Dude(s) -- at the least, get some audiophile outlets. Mine are orange. Spec'd by me when the house was built.
Needless to say*, their audiophile cred is off the charts.

I though it might be better than the regenerator?

genius. Take a mass produced cheap product and remarket as a boutique tweak.Those are legit products. Ceramic power cable isolators are on power line poles. Cost $5 or so. But their use case migrating to the audiophile realm is a bit of a fantasy. It does keep cables routing tidy.
Come the revolution...
I like that word-play; intentional or otherwise!

I guess it's whatever the complement of orange is -- so it all comes out in the wash, you know?
I mean, there you go. Horns ↔ Miles Davis ↔ Kind of Blue.
Game, set, and match.

Perfect? It cannot be; it is out of your control.
AC MAINs voltage variations
AC MAINs frequency variations
AC MAINs 'earth ground' reference
AC MAINs phase used for audio and other AC MAINs connected-hardware about the house
AC MAINs spikes, noise, RFI/EMI both from the primary AC MAINs primary input and AC MAINs power-sharing inside the house/phase
I am not saying that these always will be attacking your audio system/sound but these are just some of the potential vulnerabilities if your audio hardware (and all other in-house electronics) do poor power management.
None of the above is audible in my case, except on occasional thunderstorms when the amplifier reboots itself...

That reminds me of the "tension sheets" in Red Dwarf.
Tension Sheet
The Tension Sheet was a stress relief aide invented by Fred "Thickie" Holden, one of Arnold Rimmer's schoolmates at Io House. "Thickie" was an incredibly stupid person, but managed to come up with a simple idea for making money. He patented the Tension Sheet, which was just bubble wrap painted...

Moreover a pointless tweak without any sonic value. But that's why it's such good snake oil.
