Radio interference caused by power cord?
Got the AC-14SE MkII power cord yesterday - didn’t fix the RFI issue. It did, however, noticeably improve the CD player’s performance. Sounds cleaner, clearer with more height to the soundstage, more timbre to the instruments. I was a power cord skeptic, now I’m a believer. Thanks for the recommendation. Now to fix this RFI interference... |

@elizabeth thanks for that reco! Would you say there is a noticeable difference between the AC 14SE MKII and the AC 14 Power Cables? |

When my Resolution Audio CD50 is left on, my NAD 7175PE gets very poor radio reception. If I pull the antenna wire away from the back of the unit towards the front it gets better. If I turn off the CD player the static goes away.What exactly do you mean by "antenna wire?" Is it a wire that goes from your receiver to an actual antenna? Or, is it just a wire, perhaps connected with a short lead to a cheap 300 ohm wire dipole. If the latter, that's probably your problem, and you'd be better off connecting to an actual antenna, located up and away from your receiver, preferably through good shielded 75 ohm cable. |

As an additional piece of the info - on the back of the CD player next to the power input is a sticker labeled “200-240VAC”. I saw this on the photos before I purchased it and inquired with the A’goner who sold it to me - he said that it was actually a 110V unit. And it works fine indeed in my NY home - however, could this have something to do with it? |
