I didn't read this entire thread but I would look at a balanced power unit from Furman, Equi=Tech or other manufacturer. feed it with your dedicated line then plug everything into the balanced power unit. That should eliminate any line noise. Read more here...http://www.equitech.com/lifting-the-grounding-enigma/
Dedicated Line Noise Filter?
I don’t know if what I’m seeking exists, so I’m asking the experts.
I have 2 dedicated lines installed; one for analogue, one for digital. They originate at a sub-panel off the main circuit box. The sub-panel is connected by the hot lead and has it’s own ground including a second grounding rod. There is a home surge protector installed at the main circuit box.
I have passive conditioning on both lines for the components, yet I’m still hearing noise thru the speakers (from about two feet away). I live in a city and I suppose it could be dirty power from the grid.
Now to my question; is there a noise filter that can be installed at the site of the circuit panels? My electrician offered a surge protector with noise filtering (plus EMI/RFI), but was very expensive. So, is there a device that can be installed upstream to lower the noise floor?
Many thanks.

I have a BPT 2.5 Signature Series and my system is dead silent. I just checked U.S. Audio Mart. This is the unit I would have purchased had I been able to find one used. I get your funds situation but this is an excellent buy. http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649370283-equitech-2rq-20amp-balanced-power-transformer/ Here is the Equi=Tech price list confirming the price of this unit... http://www.equitech.com/purchase/retailprices.html |
I can't speak to balanced power conditioners as a whole but my BPT has separate plugs for amps and front end equipment. I would suggest contacting the manufacturer with your question. I also cannot speak to tube gear as everything I use is solid state. You may want to email Equi=Tech with those questions. |
