Turntable Humming
Do I need power conditioning or something similar?
I have a separate power line for my team of music coming to my house. Everything is connected directly to it. The system is generally very quiet. There is no noise or hum. Not even a ground loop at high levels! The power is also very clean, with nothing more on the power line. Every time you turn any component that I have set using switches with plug points, I get a pop sound speaker at times. (Sounds like the guy that used to occur on plates of age). How do I get rid of this? I fear I have to fry the speakers with the square wave generated from this.
I would avoid the use of switched outlets. That's like unplugging components off them. If you are going to do this, turn off amplifiers and the first power up, switch on the amplifiers in the past. Do the same when using component switches power. If components are 12-volt triggers, use these. With this you can simply turn off your preamp / receiver and take off triggers everything else. As for power conditioning never had luck with it. In the past I had a couple systems with a low hum, so I tried some line conditioners different. Each one just made the worst buzz. My current HT uses its own dedicated circuit like you and I have no problems. My processor switched on and off all amplifiers with 12 volt trigger and did not appear.
