Is "earth ground" the same as adding a ground isolation circuit. Usually any unwanted noises that occur when connecting video componentry goes right back to origin of incoming signal. I have always used a Mondial "Magic" ground isolation circuit at the point where the signal (cable) enters the house. It has reduced all unwanted noises in my audio system, usually right down to slight reduction of "white noise" also.
can power cable help cure static problem?
I have had an ongoing problem with static with my audio system which is in living room where wide screen television also is.
It is a bit odd because static only comes out of 1 of the speakers. I switched around the mono amps and then the static came out of the other speaker so I know the problem is not the speakers. I performed other tests to eliminate the possibility that the problem is the preamp or cd player.
The static started after getting the television so its not a coincidence. I have moved the amps as far from the television as possible. The outlet for the audio equipment is on separate outlets than the television and tivo device.
Based upon these simple acts, the static does not seem to occur unless the television is on while the stereo is on. For instance, I listen to a cd with the volume of the tv turned off.
Can anyone recommend anything to try to eliminate the problem when both the tv and stereo are on.
The television power cable cannot be changed since it is permanently connected to the tv.
Thoughts I had include:
I could put an aftermarket power cord on the tivo device.
I could also upgrade the power strip I used for the video components from monster cable to some other product. The tv cord will not reach the outlet directly.
I could upgrade the outlets to hospital grade outlets.
any ideas would be appreciated?
