I've been working on a gainstage circuit for Ian's Poormans pultec. Its based off a API 2520 non-inverting line amp circuit.
So far its working very well, and I have a noise floor of -75db which I'm generally happy with, but I'm curious about the noise I'm getting nonetheless.
When I analyzed the noise, I found the major peaks were at 50, 100, 200, 300hz etc and then also found in between that 150, 250, 350 etc in smaller peaks.
I live in Australia and we run on 50hz AC - so would this would explain what I'm seeing? Could this be from interference from the toroidal transformer I'm using?
If I wanted to look into reducing this noise, where would I begin?
