Re: Long Wave interference problem
The Ekco A144 has a built in frame aerial and LW reception on this is much better than with a long wire.

Re: Long Wave interference problem
This is interesting, I tried a Dac 90a (with a built in aerial) and this doesn't pick up the interference that I get so badly on my pre-war Murphys. I assumed it was because the Bush contains a X2 mains cap and this was protecting it from the interference.
So I ordered some X2 caps and wired one across the live/neutral terminals on the plug of one of my Murphy sets but it made absolutely no diference. I've been recomended a Tacima Mains Conditioner, so I've ordered one and I'm really hoping this might sort out the problem. https://www.whathifi.com/tacima/cs947/review

Re: Long Wave interference problem
As suggested in Post #20, the interference could be radiating from mains wiring nearby. Ferrite rod and loop/frame aerials are less susceptible to this type of interference.

Re: Long Wave interference problem
There is so much hash around on AM, bad offenders are SMPS's, and my Plasma TV is the worst I've ever seen, it's not the PSU, I think it's the Y Sus. The horrible buzz is only present when the set has initialised. I can rarely use AM now.
