Ah, that makes a lot of sense

I know somewhere between 'jack' and 'shit' about this kind of stuff. Thanks for the simple explanation...

Yeah, I do unplug my computer when I listen to records. It'd be nigh-unlistenable without it!

It probably doesn't help that the phono stage is about the cheapest tube one made (a Ming Da MC767-RD). I really have mixed feelings about buying cheap Chinese crap; on the one hand, it's buying Chinese and not American or British, and all sorts of things go with that... but then again, I'd never be able to afford my tube system without Ming Da and Antique Sound Lab (although in my defense, I didn't know that ASL was Chinese until I read the first line of the manual: "For avoiding vacuum tubes damaged, please don't make carton being upside down." ASL manuals are a hoot). And they're the only two Chinese things in my whole system; everything else is either homemade (by somebody else) or from a U.S. manufacturer. Still...

But yeah, if I had more money to spend, I probably wouldn't have this problem. But I'm not rich by any means... ah, money. Must be funny in a rich man's world.
