Lightbulb Shunyata vs. line noise

So a few days ago I picked up a Entech noise sniffer. In my audio room I plug into one of three 15 amp power sockets and set the gain on the Entech to 100. Clearly audible is static and talk from radio and other broadcast sources. Noise level is the same with or without the lights in the room. I then plug into one of my dedicated 20 amp lines and without adjusting the gain I get about 59.5 on the Entech display. Next I plug into my Talos, again without touching the gain and I get 33.4 on my Entech display. The power cord feeding the Talos in a Shunyata Anaconda Zitron. While a significant drop from the baseline I was a bit disappointed. I do of course realize I'm about mid level in the Shunyata product food chain. Might be time for some upgrades
