If you are building your own noise filter, or adding a simple filter to the AC input of your preamp / power amp / etc be sure to use the RIGHT KIND OF CAPACITORS, for safety sake!
You need either "across the line" type X capacitors, and / or "line to ground" type Y capacitors. Read this=> https://www.rjcomponents.com/blog/14/across-the-line-and-line-to-ground-capacitors
You might consider something like this $60 Furman line filterl https://www.amazon.com/Furman-M-8X2-Outlet-Conditioner-Protector/dp/B003BQ91Y6/
ANOTHER GOOD IDEA is to plug the PC into a DIFFERENT LEG of your home AC system, if possible. Like, a wall socket that's on a different circuit breaker than the one your stereo is plugged into. This may help reduce or eliminate this issue.
