To: twoleftears and grannyring: The Puritan products do seem intriguing. Certainly not inexpensive, and hard to find in the US. Buttugly, too, but it’s only a PC and will sit on the floor, so not a big deal. You might be interested in this post by...

Thanks to all who are trying to problem-solve the source of my common problem. I really do appreciate your efforts and thoughts. However, we are straying off-topic. I have done a lot of research about everything related to power conditioning, incl...

To: millercarbon Yep, it’s RFI. No doubt it’s getting into the phono preamp, but that’s to be expected since the source is the AC outlet, or more accurately, the AC lines in my house. Taking the phono stage out of the equation doesn’t mitigate the...

To whart: Thanks for the lengthy reply and suggestion. Honestly, I have no interest in that kind of exploration to solve a relatively minor problem. I know that some power conditioners work, and some don’t. Some work better than others, All I am l... 
RGPC 1200 custom vs. Furman Elite 15 pfi

To Fuzztone: Dunno, maybe. The electrician installed them when I built my home. They have their own grounding rod. The PS Audio Stellar 3 is out of my range, but thanks.

Mobile Fidelity StudioDeck Setup Issue
You're brilliant! This is the fix! Moving the lift shelf out of the way first, then adjusting  the tonearm...of course! Even MoFi tech support didn't make this clear, but you did. Many thanks for helping cure this headache.P.S. To give MoFi the be...

Mobile Fidelity StudioDeck Setup Issue
millercarbonsryeagerUpdate: Unfortunately, none of the remedies worked. The hex screw for the cue/lift allows adjustment of the arm and shelf lateral positioning, not height. That seems to be fixed. I attempted for the fourth time to reset the ton...
