Thread: PSU for PC

My PC is in the electrical spur as my Naim amplifier, and when the PC is on, there is a very low level hum in the transformer of the amp. The hum isn't really that loud (it's actually barely audible), but enough to have me believe that the PC is making my mains 'noisy'.

Is there a better PC PSU I can invest in that will not inject as much noise in the system? Or some other device that I can plug in between the PC and the wall?

I've just ordered a Seasonic X-560. Very highly recommeded psu. It will replace a cheap one. Interestingly my mains set up seems to be the same as yours. I was thinking of the sotm devices but this seems a more logical way to initially go now I'm using a USB2 DAC connection. I won't be able to fit it in until Saturday but will report back then.

The improvements brought by upgrading the PSU are well worth it. A cheap and straight forward way to bring noticable improvements.
