Solutions for interference issues
Discussion
Morning all.
I have two separate issues with interference into my Hi-Fi audio. Thought I’d post up both of them and see if anyone has any ideas on how to best deal with them.
The first is my beer fridge/freezer in my music room. When its motor kicks in, or off, it causes a ‘blip’ in the audio. I know I could just get rid of the freezer but any other solutions?
The second is related to laptop power supply. I have a windows laptop (doesn’t happen with Mac, different kind of PSU apparently). That whilst the charger is plugged in, will cause significant noise into the audio stream. Fine when on battery.
Historically, in a pinch, one could disconnect the ground in the plug or cover the earth prong with tape. But looking for something a bit less, well, I dunno, safer? I’m no electrician, but disconnecting earth wires doesn’t seem very practical in the long term.
