I've got all my electrical equipment plugged into the normal wiring
that came with the house, no fancy filters anywhere, nothing special
at all, and have never heard any splats from my loudspeakers since I
stopped listening to AM radio. There's no audible hiss from a normal
listening position either, even if I turn the volume control to its
upper endstop. (Normal listening requires about a quarter turn). My
audio and video equipment is not the sort of silly pretentious stuff
that costs a king's ransom, and it's not cheap rubbish either, just
carefully chosen well-designed gear that works.

Go on then, what kit have you got?

The heart of the audio kit is a Cambridge Audio 540A amplifier, a 640C CD
player and a 640T tuner. Loudspeakers are Bowers and Wilkins DM2s bought
some time in the early 1970s and still sounding so good I've never felt
inclined to replace them. I have Sennheiser HD 560 headphones too.
There's also a NAD tape deck, a Hitachi VHS machine, a Matsui freeview
box, two Panasonic HDD/DVD recorders and a Humax HDD recorder. My laptop
computer normally sits on a nearby shelf so I can feed its audio output
into the system and listen to internet radio, though now that the novelty
has worn off I rarely do. Some of this gear isn't used much so it will
probably eventually go the same way as the Garrard 401 turntable and SME
pickup arm I got rid of about 20 years ago.

The sound is beefy enough for the loudest listening I like to do, and
sweet and clear at low volume for late light listening (or viewing) and
there are no spurious hisses hums or splats under any circumstances.

Rod.
