Mains DC blocker and RFI\EMI power filter



















In Australia our mains supply has gone from clean power to not so clean power. For a number of years now I have built power filters into my power amps but not in media players or preamps.  DC on the mains can cause many problems with audio gear and particularly audio gear using a toroid transformer a DC mains blocker may improve sonic performance. This simple DC blocker also incorporates an RFI\EMI power filter. A choke on the input lead and 10A slow blow fuse round out a simple and neat solution to "dirty" mains power.
