So connecting caps from Live to Neutral in AC is effective?

202.7.141.1

I am not sure if I read it correctly, but by constructing the device below, the power will be cleaner and the sound will be better , right?


Recommended capacitor type and values for a single plug-in unit use in AC line to neutral adaptors:
Four 10 microfarad 400-600 volts DC metallized polypropylene film caps, connected in parallel and bypassed by at least one .47 microfarad and one .01 microfarad 400-600 volts metallized polypropylene cap.

The neutral-to-earthground connected capacitors can be much larger (higher capacitance) and lower voltage rating than the AC caps.
Recommended for each neutral to earth ground plug-in adaptor: one 100-220 microfarad, one 10 microfarad, and one 0.47 microfarad metallized polypropylene film cap, connected in parallel (all caps 100 VDC or greater, no resistor needed).
