Hello all,

My wife seems to be using the dimmer switch more in the winter just
when I'm listening to SW. The noise blanker doesn't seem to help. Are
there dimmer switches made that don't produce the "pleasant" buzz of
the standard one? Presumably it would be more expensive, but might be
worth it.

Thanks,

DWP

The upscale Lutron dimmers are pretty good (around $30) Diva or better, with
more RFI suppression than usual.

I buy them for neighbors. In your own house, they're still audible but not
nearly as bad as the economy dimmers.

I've tried them and they do reduce the RFI but the noise is still there.
The Lutron switches also get worse with age.
