What is DC offset on the AC power line?


I realize this question may be more appropriate in the miscellaneous section so please accept my apologies in advance. This may be somewhat amp related though, as in "don't use it with an amp".  

Can someone comment as to the pros/cons of a  DC offset suppression device, such as Emotiva CMX-2.

I haven't seen this feature in other power strips and/or surge suppressors.

Thanks.

gdhal,

Lots of stuff inside there. I do not have any experience with the Emotiva device.

Are you experiencing a loud mechanical buzzing/humming sound coming from a torrid transformer in a piece of your audio equipment?

There is a member here on Agon that used to build DC blockers. I might be able to find his username if you need a blocker.

Edit:

Gbart is the Agon member's username. If interested you might try sending him a PM over the Agon message system.
