noise back flow filter?
« on: 21 Jun 2016, 05:00 pm »
I'd like to build or buy a small unit that would plug in series with each component's power cord to prevent generated noise
from going back into the other components. All my gear is plugged into a line conditioner already.
Any suggestions? thanks

j, a simple 3-legged capacitive filter* at the component's AC-power inlet would reduce much high-frequency noise, incoming and outgoing.  Our resident experts probably will offer more-elegant solutions.

this link has c-l-c bi-directional filters for live-neutral (2wire) and live-earth-neutral (3wire) mains EMI/RFI filters
if you build it your self make sure caps are rated ac mains voltage

Great link for the basic RF filters. But what about noise in the audible range?
like hum/hiss/buzz coming out of the speakers.
I have a big issue with noise the plasma TV is generating coming over the speakers.
When the tv is off I'm still left with noise from the tube pre and amp, to a lesser degree, but audible from the listening seat.
