DC blockers - what's your experience


Just viewed a video about the AudioLab DC blocker. Then watched Paul from PS Audio explain how it works and now I’m intrigued. Anyone with insite?.

DC causes my amps toroidal transformer to buzz fairly loudly. The only time it happens is when my wife uses this one particular space heater.

I think DC on an AC circuit in the US is very rare and is often blamed for buzz when it is something else.  

Your audio should be on dedicated 20-30 amp lines 

and I had  had awg 10 copper wire and to make more quiet my audio electrician friend installed 4 wire 1 common ground ,the other a separate is plated ground 

Going to its own small buzz bar  it sounds dead quiet day or night .

I use iFi on my NAS and fiber transmitter….they work excellent and are extremely affordable. 

I had major problem with transformer hum that lasted for years, this along with over voltage issue(124-126v). Never could get rid of transformer hum, bucking transformer for the over voltage. Suddenly one day I come home no more transformer hum, voltage down to 119-121v, this has remained for years now. Seems electrical grid was finally repaired.
