Power conditioners


Ive been getting a random string of distortion coming out of my left speaker. some nights is quite.

this has been a problem on two completely different vintage tube systems so im assuming its coming from the AC power outlet.

would something like the PS Audio Duet help this??

I really doubt a power conditioner is going to fix your noise issue. If it were originating from AC, you'd hear it in both channels.

Check your source component. If you switch left and right ICs, does the noise switch channels?

Are your speaker cables and IC connections good?

Rule out any problems with your amp and preamp. Do you have replacement tubes to install to make sure they aren't the problem? It's not uncommon to have intermittent noise with a tube that's going bad.

Again, I doubt this is AC.
I aggree switch cables and see where the issue is maybe a week tube or a bad connection.
Power problem effecting only left side? I don't buy it.
Something else, cable, upstream component, haunting..... is to blame.
