What you are experiencing is not "power supply noise", but most likely ground loop noise. The fix is not to shill Apple power supplies, which as switching power supplies are still extremely noisy, but to use proper connectors and signalling.


> The fix is not to...

Except the fix was exactly that, according to the commenter.


That's like saying "I had back pain, so I bought a 10,000 dollar mattress and it's fine now!" Meanwhile, the actual solution was that the person needed a firmer mattress.

Knowing what the actual problem is rather than what product fixes it will save you time and money.


> so I bought a 10,000 dollar mattress and it's fine now!

It's $20. The jitterbug (ground loop/galvanic isolation) is $60.


The way you say it makes it sound like cargo culting.

I'd rather know what causes my problems than turn to Apple for every problem.
