Just like the title says.
My PT-3160 is a noisy sumbeech! And, I am getting real tired of it.
When it is on, I can hear a distinct hum in many electronic devises around here.
Most notably: stereo equipment, and ceiling fans.
Last night I noticed a puddle of goop under one of my really expensive, impossible to repair, audio amplifiers.
Upon further inspection, it is electrolyte from leaking power-supply capacitors! This amp was brand-new 2 years ago!
No way these caps should have failed already. I am blaming my noisy Phase-Perfect!
If the stereo system is on, with no signal (no music playing) it is silent.
The second the Phase-Perfect is turned on: you hear a thump in the speakers, followed by a very audible hum/buzz.
Turn the Phase-Perfect off, the noise immediately disappears!
Same with the ceiling fans. Installed new fans when the Phase-Perfect filter caps failed and almost burnt my house down.
Now, in the last week or so, the new fans are making strange noises.
This can not be good for electronics. It just cant.
There has to be a way to isolate this thing to prevent all this bullshit.
