Differential mode noise is suppressed by installing capacitors (X capacitors) across the supply line.

But I have serious doubts about that strip. I would go with a SurgeX first, if you dont want to spend a lot.
hey jeffrey, that's one helluva setup you got there! ...cheersTJ
I was able to get a SurgeX here on AC from Dave of Zenwave which made a sound difference. He modifies them and it's supposed to be much better though I haven't heard it personally. zenwave.com
...will isolate your system from surges originating both inside and outside your home, most surges come from inside the home due to electric motors being switched on and off. Lightning within several miles of your home also cause surges. If you have whole-house surge protection the SurgeX is still a good idea to isolate your equipment from surges inside your home, as well as to filter noise as a result of using MOV based whole-house suppressors. The SurgeX does NOT use MOVs and does NOT dump surge energy to ground.
In Europe, Schnneider residual current Super immune circuit breaker is a very good idea if you have a dedicated line to audio equipment => additional protection in front the harmonics at mains in polluted environments and networks.Why?The electricity network is getting dirtier every day. The widespread use of cheap SMPS, cheap electrical motors, air conditioners (they add DC at mains too).... usually made in East Asia (China). And bad electrical installations in elevators, and...https://www.schneider-electric.com/en/search/inmmunizedhttps://www.schneider-electric.com/en/search/Super+immune
For clarification, the SurgeX you bought from ZenWave is stock (unmodified)?
Hola ,yo me gano la vida como técnico de mantenimiento y antes de dedicarme al mantenimiento de instalaciones me dedicaba al montaje y puesta en marcha de maquinaria ,en una instalación concreta que realizamos en un almacén hortofruticola ,se dieron todas las circunstancias para que los parásitos de la red y los harmonicos dieran todos los problemas imaginables ,muchisimos variadores de frecuencia (muchos enormes mas de 50 cV ,el del ascensor no creo que llegue a 10 cv) y la nave era hermética ,como una nevera para climatizar la fruta en todo el proceso (chapa metálica con relleno de espuma compacta tipo poliuretano) ,despues de colocar un montón de diferenciales superinmunizados (carisimos), la solución definitiva fue poner filtros de entrada y salida en los variadores ,donde trabajo ahora ,no se contemplaba el montaje de variadores por que generaban problemas en sus maquinas y el resto de la instalación ,en verano monte 10 equipos power electronics sd700 (serie alta con filtros de entrada y salida incorporados) y no tengo absolutamente ningun problema ,te he soltado el rollo para que veas que no es algo que me suene de oídas sino que lo he sufrido a fondo ,un saludo-lo lógico es eliminar el problema en el origen.
