I was complaining on other forums of my noise issues at my house. For years I blamed my home. Come to find a lot of my issues were my amps. I bought new amps and that made a significant impact. I still had some hum. Not heard at the chair any more. Not unless it was super quiet and I sat and intently listened for it at its worst times. This is way better than it had been, but louder than I wanted.
Ultrafast and I had just done some work at his house. He told me to run a second circuit dedicated to my amps only. I did as such and what do you know. 2 circuits in my system are better than one. Again my noise floor dropped quite a bit. Now that only hum I heard was when I was right up at a speaker. I could no longer hear anything at my chair. Take away here. Don't listen to anyone tell you how many circuits are best for audio. My belief is your system will tell you. We each have a very unique setup, and unique home environment. What works for one, may not work for another.
Ultrafast also utilized a few Environmental Potential EP2050. They are a surge suppressor and also suppose to get rid of noise. You can find info on the web and read if interested. Anyhow, I have had it in for 3 days now. I have to put my ear to my speakers to hear any noise now. My system is the quietest it has ever been. It is such a relief to not have an incessant hum heard at my chair. I now get a little unnerved that try as I may to hear hum at my speaker I almost cant. The quality of the input tube actually has more impact on noise now than anything else in my setup.
