Oh sorry EFalardeau yes I see it was a question. AC filter is nothing I came across when I was searching the net for answer on the topic. From what I understand an AC filter is a small box (like an adapter plug) that is meant to block out magnetic interference coming through the AC outlet. It plugs directly into the AC outlet, then your component plugs into the filter.
Only thing is I've not seen anything like that in Japan.
Yeah it's frustrating but step by step I'll conquer this problem.
Everyone's input here is very helpful.
