Hello,
I have a question for this group regarding an issue likely related to power that I face time to time in my music room. It seems that audio/video quality fluctuates during the day/evening and I get the best quality (audio/video) only after midnight. I have two dedicated 20 Amp circuits (10 gauge wire) with a pair of Furutech receptacles which feed all of my AV components. I don't have any power conditioner but use a Nordost power distribution unit. My system is relatively quiet with no 60 hz hum. However there a slight hiss that comes out of my Aerial Model 7T speakers when everything is powered on but it is only audible if you take your ears very close to the tweeter.
Could anybody comment on the possible root cause behind the inconsistent audio quality throughout the day?
I am thinking of installing a balanced power transformer but not sure if that (isolation) would address the inconsistency issue. I would love to hear your opinion on this as well.
Thanks.
