Last night I was listening to some tunes on my 2 channel rig and since I wanted to listen more critically I went up to turn off my air purifier. The air purifier sits next to my power conditioner behind my rig. As I shut it off, I heard a loud crackle come out of the left speaker. I looked down and noticed that the power cord of my air purifier was touching my speaker cable. I lifted the cable up off the power cord and tried again and noticed no crackle. I repeated this several times and concluded that it was most definitely the power cord of my tiny little air purifier that was causing a crackle when turned off.
Now realizing this, I looked at my setup and wondered what the mess at the back of my gear might be doing to the sound. There are several power cords, plus the actual gear itself, tube amp and power conditioner.
Could this mess back there be causing audible changes to my system and how can I get around this?
