[QUOTE="Ned Ward, post: 220, member: 100"] So... I'm testing out my new DEQ830 with my 01v setup (thank you Lee) and wanted to see how my Really Frickin Poor Man's IEM works with the Rolls unit. just sending ipod in, adjusting levels, etc. Battery is running low, so I go upstairs and get an extra USB dock cable and the small 2-prong power-USB adapter. I plug it in on the Furman exterior courtesy outlet, and get a horrible ground loop buzz. Hmm, I say to myself. unplug the USB cable from the iPhone, no buzz. I plug the AC into the back of the Furman; ground lift buzz is reduced, but still bad. I then plug both the rack power strip and the iPhone power into a separate power strip, and it's buzzing even worse. So... The power strip I have sucks and is in the trash. My Furman Merit Series (older, not the new X-series) ''Power conditioner'' seems to do neither and it's ''Courtesy outlet'' is anything but. I see multiple options, including: SM Pro Audio DI Dock that Ben Harris very nicely reviewed: [url="http://www.soundforums.net/index.php?t=msg&goto=428&&srch=iPhone+power#msg_428"]http://www.soundforums.net/index.php?t=msg&goto=428&&srch=iPhone+power#msg_428[/url] Plugging the output of my iPhone into a stereo DI and then into the 01v; I own a Radial Pro DI2 and could go to RatShack for the RCA-1/4'' adapters.
