    To a degree, they can also squash dynamics too :eek: , plus what about the 'Common mode' LF shite?, voltage surges and spikes?, hash, HF induced by the components themselves?,cdp's are great generators of shite, tuff call either passive shite removal/or direct ac coupling, maybe total mains regeneration ala' Ps audio and Accuphase, even choose you output wave form 47-63hz.
    Too hifi for me, but common mode removal is a basic must for any hifi system I feel.
    The mains is key to your system, give the proper stuff and you won't believe the difference :) WM

    :eek: Oh dear! Last winter I went ferrite mad and fitted couple of dozen huge ferrites on all audio and video components I could lay my hands on.

    :confused:

    How did you find the sound after fitting the ferrites? If you are happy with them in place then keep them, but in my system ferrites were a step backwards.

    Cheers, Robbo

    Fortunately my CUs are in my living room. I have a separate CU just for the hifi and from that seven separate spurs, one for each powersupply. It seems to work
