It's all about the music...once the needle drops...I'm very happy.
I was on a quest to solve the noise (which I have lived with for some time) and in the process, I resolved a ground loop issue, and inserted an isolation transformer which really did solve a lot of noise from my power mains. So the system sound has been elevated, just not 100% dead quiet like I would prefer when sitting right up next to the speaker listening for noise.
Time to move on to the next weak link...👍🏻
