I have owned a Tice Power Block 3C Signature since 1998. I have grown so accustomed to it conditioning all power to my front end units that I forgot what it did.
Recently I added a couple pieces to my system. In the process, I moved the television's power cable from the 3C to the wall. A day or two later when I had the TV and the stereo on, I assumed that the new digital crossover was causing problems: digital artifacts above 16Khz. Man, it was annoying. After a few days of thinking the new digital crossover had to go, I moved the TV back to the Tice. No more high pitched artifacts.
The noise was coming from the internal electronics of the TV itself. I guess it was the light generator or tube or whatever it is called on a standard TV set.
TVs make a very high pitched noise. Many people can not hear it. I am fortunate enough to still be able to hear it. With the Tice, that high pitch was decreased.
