Yes, I put them back on before I fitted the regenerator.

Still confused by this.
As soon as my phono stage is turned on in my system, the buzz of the AG1500 stops, but there is a very faint noise audible through my headphones/speakers.

I plugged in my Amazon Commercial “Pure Sine Wave” 1500VA UPS (which is usually used for my NAS) and the unit does not buzz. Neither do I have the occasional hum/buzz through the headphones/speakers. Is a cheap UPS (SMPS based?) really the solution?

I do not want to spend thousands on a HiFi mains conditioner.

It is experimental at this stage. How does the music sound with the UPS?

I would rather have the occasional buzz.

So what would one of those achieve?

That none should be able to buy or sell without a smartphone and the knowledge in how to use apps
