I lowered my noise floor on the cheap........


I run a dual use system so I run a APC battery back up incase of power interuption so i can shut down Projector and let fan cool bulb to avoid damage. So I got bored and wondered what if any improvement I would get if I ran Phono Stage into that unit and unpugged it to run on DC so after I fished wires, I unplugged the backup shut off alarm and listened for near 3 hours enjoying the dead silent back ground I never had before, all hum was gone. I dont have a super awesome analog rig, SOTA Star/Saphire tweaked Rega 300 arm, AT oc150 cart and Musical Surroundings Phono with Kimber Hero wire but man it was really easy to hear the imediate improvement..........not sure how much over 3 hrs I can listen on battery but it was a cool upgrade, Cheers

Yes APC make good equipment. Electronics does not have to have a four figure price tag to do a great job. Your comment about "cheap" shows that you are preparing yourself for the kind of remarks reserved for those using industrial business products like APC instead of "boutique" Hi-Fi ones...
