Hi everyone,
Wasn't sure where to post this question but I think the problem may lie with the amp, so here goes.
I have all my kit in one area. The problem I am getting is a hissing through the speakers when my PC and amp are switched on and connected to my telly. Here's my set up.
I have Sugden electronics: an A21SE integrated amp and CD21SE cd player. They're set on a dedicated rack. My speakers are a pair of AAD e48 tower speakers. I have a small form-factor PC sat next to my Toshiba 32-inch flatscreen telly. The Telly is plugged into the Sugden amp with some reasonable interconnects (nothing fancy there though) and the PC is also plugged into the amp with a cheap interconnect. I have recently introduced a BT vision set-top box into the set up but that hasn't changed anything for better or worse.
I experience a problem whenever the PC and amp are switched on, but only when there is a connection from one device or both to the TV. If I remove the connections between these two devices and the telly I do not get any hissing, but of course this means I can't get stereo sound out of the PC!
I find that the hissing is significantly more pronounced from the speaker positioned closer to the telly, which makes me think it's an interference problem. I have tried using mains filters but they had no effect on the problem.
Any advice appreciated, thanks.
