In these cases it's good to have a protective separation transformer and always get an extension cord big enough to fit all of your gear in one extension cord. Making a daisychain with extension cords is not a good thing.

Other problem is that if you take power from two different outlets, there might be in a different phase. This means that in worst case you have 230V potential difference between the grounds and that will cause hum and hiss.

Well, I tell you what I ve 12 separate wall plugs with only one plug going in to each one and even when i just have my virus going straight in to my monitors I still get quite a bit of white noise which irritates me so fucking much!!!

Ive got in to a habbit off listening to it to much though LOL!!

Also the other day I plugged some planet wave cables in to it and coz there a little tighter then most jack leads, when i pulled um out it pulled the metal rimming off inside the virus output making me think these are cheaply made or atleast not designed to its full potential!!!

I mean it dosnt really matter but just sumin that is annoying me!!!

any joy DS? :)

303....

Is this noise present in a any recording u make?

*I use Planet Wave cables aswell and yes they are very tight fitting in the audio sockets of the virus. I think i might have to replace those cables b'cos I think they are straning the inputs/outputs too much

Urmpp not really alittle I suppose but im listening to the background noises rather then th sound if you get me but even with out monitors and plug head phones in with out anything playing in the Virus its still very hisssssssy!!!

Fuck it ill get buy!!! :?

Phone up ur local power supply company and tell them that they are fucking u up with all this noisey power that they are supplying u! U could always invest ?30 to get a mains cleaner.....i use this on hifi to great effect. Using it on studio gear is also a must in imho.

*I sometimes get a bit of noise...whereas other times its totally silent. It could be the power supply coming into ur house is a little 'dirty'. It does happen.
