Topband: Clean AC Power

Hello Top-Banders,

Today's Wall Street Journal had an article on serious 
(fanatical) audiophiles in Japan who have their own 
utility poles (and transformers) installed to ensure that 
they get the cleanest AC power possible.

I had a bit of a chuckle ... but then I thought, wait a 
minute, why not for top-band? Let's say you've cleaned up 
everything in your house. What about noise coming in from 
the neighbors via the power lines? Would having your own 
transformer (with a shield) help? Or at least filter the 
AC as it enters your property? As far from the antenna(s) 
as possible. Maybe not as silly as we may think...

73,
