Since we've had some discussions lately on power filters and
meter readings, I grabbed a few things lying around the house
and did some tests. All tests were conducted on a single
outlet (with an outlet multiplier so everything could be
plugged in). My noise source was a vacuum cleaner either
plugged into the outlet or plugged into a filtering
power strip. I also tested some "parallel" filters which
filter the power without anything being plugged into them.

Interestingly, the conclusions reached with the Stetzer
meter are completely different than the conclusions
one would reach with the Entech. And my personal
experiences of what reduces my ES symptoms don't
agree with the conclusions one would reach from
any of these meter readings (which is why I usually
don't care what the meter says).

Baseline reading: Stetzer=120, Entech=20
No vaccum, Furman PST-10D plugged in: Stetzer=83, Entech=7
No vacuum, Quantum outlet plugged in: Stetzer=100, Entech=44
No vacuum, Blue Circle Power Line pillow plugged in: Stezter=80, Entech=0.1
No vacuum, PS Audio Noise Harvester plugged in: Stetzer=108, Entech=0.4
No vacuum, Tripp Lite Isobar (new) plugged in: Stetzer=155, Entech=6
No vaccum, Power Sentry power strip plugged in: Stetzer=113, Entech=58

Vacuum turned on, no filtering: Stetzer=1540, Entech=121
Vacuum on, plugged into Furman PST-10D: Stetzer=399, Entech=7
Vaccum on, plugged into Quantum outlet: Stetzer=1400, Entech=130
Vaccum on, Blue Circle Power line pillow plugged in: Stetzer=499, Entech=3
Vacuum on, PS Audio Noise Harvester plugged in: Stetzer=680, Entech=0.4
Vacuum on, Tripp Lite Isobar (new) plugged in: Stetzer=584, Entech=6
Vacuum on, plugged into Power Sentry power strip: Stezter=104, Entech=0.5

I also tried the Quantum Pro and also a Quantum Life HomeFree (knockoff
product), and both were the same as the baseline readings.
