erik,
I am not disputing anything you said in your previous post. I am in agreement with most of what you said.
My understanding is the noise created by the rectifier does indeed end up on the AC mains unless the designer/manufacturer of the equipment adds some type of filter on the AC line of the equipment. My understanding, from what I have read, digital equipment is the worst.
So if noise on the AC line can cause distortion in audio equipment, then it stands to reason, if, say a CDP is putting noise back out on the AC line, the noise will inter through the power cord of a preamp that is plugged into the same wall mains AC outlet as the CDP. Correct?
