hey,

At the moment my amplifier, preamplifier (Shindo Monbrison & Montile cv391) and the turntable PSU are connected to a generic power strip which connected to a generic outlet.
The rest of the components (PC, router, switch, TV and Dac) are connected to an 'isol-8 axis' with a DC filter that is connected to another generic outlet.

Recently, my preamp suffers from parasitic oscillation noise, it happens once or twice a day for a minute on the right channel and disappears.
I have connected a ferrite magnet on the power cable of the preamp and it seems to have stopped.

I thought about Sine or Oyaide but maybe there are other recommendations.

I will buy the Esprit Volta Ultra.
I have some good information about it.

Wouldn’t an isolation transformer solver this? Plug just the preamp into it.
tried, too much coloration

The power cords provided with the shindo gear are great but lack shielding and suffer from the parasitic oscillation.

So i also need recommendation for power cords with shielding that will be an upgrade from the original ones.

If you have %2.5k in your couch cushions you might want to consider the iFi Audio power system kit. I am a recent convert to the benefits of clean power. The most notable is dynamics. it allows you to listen at realistic levels without the fatigue associated with excessive noise. IMO YMMV.

Thank you for those words, Greg! Indeed, one can't go wrong with our Power System Kit. :)

Greetings,
I have been using an Audience Forte V8 power strip for the last 3 weeks.
It is very neutral and doesn’t seem to add or subtract from the sound. I’m very pleased so far.
There are so many good outlets to choose from In today’s world. I have been using hospital grade outlets in my system for years. Installed a Furutech GTX NCF outlet for my main amps a few weeks ago. It’s ok.

You can't do much in the way of fixing poor electrical infrastruce with devices. Those devices themselves will never work to their full potential.

To be honest, I have no idea. Theoretically however these electronics should be more impervious to AC HF artifacts because their tube rectifiers don't freak out as much as solid state rectifiers do.

Someone please educated me if this is nothing but regurgitated net bull. I really want to know the truth about this.

"Thank you, I have been saying this for years.
I HELD THAT VIEW. I WAS WRONG. You can se Michael Fremer is still in denial (See his system video). The "dirt" Iin your electricity can be cleaned up. Better "electrical infrastructure " is good too.

My experience is the polar opposite. Go figure. Maybe a different brand will yield a different result.
