@riley804 The issue was that my gear was not located near properly wired outlets and I had to run it off an extension cord. |
@ hilde45
where you having an issue before and that is why you decided to move things ? |
Makes perfect sense to me. |
You're welcome. Let us know if you hear any improvement. |
@lowrider57 Thanks. I woke up this morning and moved the router to a different line. Confirmed. Appreciate your help! |
You should move the router to a separate line. Although, it would be good if you could verify that this line isn't shared by your audio. You can shut off the breaker to confirm this.
|
@dletch The router is where it is for a number of reasons -- connections to phone lines, other wifi extenders, security system. I can at least plug it into a different electrical circuit. It broadcasts easily to my streamer OR I could attach an ethernet cable if I wanted. The issue here is about the electrical system.
|
I assume you the cable router could go almost anywhere? Is there a reason why it is at your audio equipment? All you need is an Ethernet cable run from wherever it is to your audio rack.
Ethernet is an electrically isolated connection. It is not perfect, some high frequency noise can get across, but whether that makes a difference or not would be a matter of your Streamer/DAC. Listen to a silent passage, is there obvious noise? No? Unlikely to be any issue. |
If you can do it you should I moved my router closer to my system because I had too and it started creating noise in my system. As soon as I moved the router farther away the noise stopped. It’s a real issue anything you can do should help.
|
Thanks, all. I can easily put the router on a different circuit.
Presently, I have an Audience Adept 2R2p conditioner at the outlet (a Porter port) and in one of those plugs I put my DAC and the rest goes to a Wiremold power strip with a Shunyata Defender plugged into it.
|
If you can't separate them, I suggest a Furman PST-8 as a good noise filter. Put all your noisy devices on it. Alternatively, you could get an iFi power supply for your router.
|
The router should not be on the same circuit as your audio.
A router with the coax line feeding it from outside generates high levels of RFI which translates into noise, an audible amount of noise.
Since you can’t isolate your audio from the electrical devices you mentioned, a power conditioner or power strip with filtering would be in order. Brick Wall or Surge X are very effective conditioners or a Furman Power Station will provide filtering from RFI/EMI noise on your shared AC line.
You have a very nice system, isolating it from the noise-generating electricals will provide noticeable benefits.

Sure djones51, I listen too, I'm just too lazy to do anything about it. ;-)

@djones I listen to you! Thanks again! |
Dimmer lights and florescent would be the worst. Most here don't pay much attention to my advise but if you don't hear any difference I wouldn't worry about it. |
