AC Line Problems


I have big problems regarding AC line noise. I get alot of loud "pops" through my phon stage from appliances in house while listening to phono stage. I had dedicated line installed from the existing panel but to no avail. The house is only wired for 110 amps. Would upgrading to 220 amps help? Any suggestions? How can I determine noise which is coming in from the AC line versus noise which is airborne?

bkdou812 Have you considered an on-line uninterruptible power supply? On-line means you run off of the batteries all the time. Line interactive means you go to battery only when it senses a power failure.

When I had my Octave V110 tube integrated I noticed after losing a couple of tubes my power was fluctuating between 95 and 135V. I ended up getting a PurePower 1050 ups. I had no problems after that.That PP 1050 I had was extremely reliable for me. I say that because there are some reports of bad service. I sold mine after 5 problem free years with the original batteries. BTW I would get typically 45 min of playing time with no power. And it kept the output voltage at a steady 121V
