Default So I did an EMF sweep of my system

Not sure why I didn't think of it before but I had the idea of doing an EMF sweep of my system.

What is EMF? An electromagnetic field (also EMF or EM field) is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It affects the behavior of charged objects in the vicinity of the field.

We obviously want to protect our fragile signals flowing through our cables and preserve them. Any EMF leakage that is near your system is bad news for sound in general.

I will elaborate later after formulating some thoughts, doing more tests and thinking this post through carefully.

The early indicators are:

1. My Richard Grey Power Conditioner will have to go. It was scary to see the EMF levels on that silly old thing. It was literally twice the EMF reading than any other cable or component in my system. A dinosaur!

2. The wonderful Keces power conditioner is so well shielded it was hard to detect it above background levels away from the system at all! Wow....

3. The WireWorld Power cords absolutely rock as far as EMF readings go. Once again, plug to plug, it was barely any higher than background level readings.

4. PrimaLuna surprisingly was lower than Luxman in EMF readings and barely above background. I will have to do more tests here and substitute a few variables around to get a true grip on this situation.

I will be doing some more testing and perhaps make a brief video of it!
