Advice re PC for Plinius amp

I have a a Plinius SA-250 and I suspect the massive transformer is creating noise on the power circuit - maybe DC, but I don't know that for sure. Even though I use dedicated 20 amp circuits, all the gear is connected / grounded to this source.

My question is: are there any PC's out there that can block DC or has anybody experience of PC's with Plinius amps and reducing hum back into the system.

Hello Steve,

I owned Plinius SA-102 and I am familiar with its hum. I will confirm Stereophile writer's observation that when I installed "cheaper" and "cheaper" (thinner and thinner) power cords the hum went down.

I wonder how SA-250 handles your Apogees Scintilla and is it better (for you, of course) musically then Spectron amp you owned?

Incidently, they developed new high current power cord (about $500) but I did not have a chance to try it

Good Luck
Rafael
