RE: please teach me...

I have tried to learn with an open mind. I really have, but this common sense thing keeps getting in the way. I do not want to argue…we are here to help each other, right? You almost had me with the noise stuff. I live about 3 miles from a hydroelectric dam. In a very quiet neighborhood. The only physical noise in my house is an aquarium (which I try to keep filled to eliminate noise, a refrigerator, and occasionally the furnace. There are no motors on the same circuit. When I turn my amp on (with no input), there is absolutely no noise at all. My power is delivered underground and I am the only home on this transformer. I have no antenna hooked up to my system. I do have my computer hooked up to my amp however. I believe the guys designing our audio equipment understand our problems well and try to eliminate "noise". I ask you, what is the "perfect" power source? A generator? DC power? Filtered AC power?
