Today I finally got around into hooking my neons into the audio circuit from the SNES and the N64 via RCA cables. I split the signal going to the head unit's aux input, so now it's going to the neons as well. I turn it on, and to my dismay, a LARGE amount of buzz hits the speakers. I was worried about that. Well, I have a radio shaq ground loop distributer, made to reduce noise, hooked into the circuit now- coming from the AV splitter to the headunit/neon split. I'll just move it to AFTER that neon split I say- that way it'll ground loop that faulty, hardwired signal from coming back.
I take it off.. and dont put it back in. "Lets test it without it" I say. "I want to see how much noise this thing really reduces"
so I turn the system back on- expecting a blast of static. The signals from the SNES and the N64 are now STATIC FREE. I took off the "Noise reducer" and it reduced the noise! wooo!
but sadness, noise on the monitor now when the neons are on!
**** I say.
then I add the "noise reducer" to just the neons.
no more noise on the monitor.
I have this warm glow about me. Everything worked right, and quickly. The above process took me 15 minutes.
Anyone have similar expierences? Where someone that ytou thought was gonna be a pain, ended up being resolved quickly and painlessly leaving you.. happy as hell?
