Did some research and apparenlty It is a well known fact to plug your audio gear in a wall socket when possible. Have learned something today and will never forget it. 
Still cannot believe the difference in sound Big%20smile

Congratulations, and the best part is it was a free solution. Cheers!

I am not even going to attempt to second guess this one.

Sounds like a 3-way win to me, free, problem solved, bonus improvement over and above problem removal and the CuSat still to come - ear heaven Thumbs%20Up

I do recall one fellow having interference problems with his turntable setup and thinking it was the Era Gold - no changing of cables or earthing things could remove the problem.

He moved to a different apartment and the problem was no more.

Hamlet Act I Scene IV - IIRC.

Thanks! The idea came to mind when I turned on my desk light. There was a very audible pop noise when switching it on and off through my headphones. There were 8/12 outlets in use on the extension block (lamp, solo, pc, ...) so I unplugged the solo and plugged it into a wall socket.
 
The rest is history!
 
Now onto the cusat Clap

Well, I've had the cusat50 for a few days now. They look very nice and are very well built.
As I said before, this IC cost about 7 times the one I was using before....
Is it 7 times better... of course not,
Is it worth it... absolutely!
 
When first connected I noticed a difference but was unable to pinpoint the exact differences. A few hours later I went back to the original IC and could then easily pinpoint its flaws.
 
I would describe the differences with the cusat50 and the profigold IC as follows:
- sound is more coherent. 
- Yet another sparkle has been added to the music.
- More definition in the bass.
 
Wondering what further burnin will do...
 
So to answer my own question: Yes, the cusat50 is definitely for me.
