Do you mean connected to an earth ground other than the main earth ground of the main electrical service?
Dedicated lines- need break in?
Surely a, stupid question of the day!
Finally had 2X 20 amp dedicated lines installed with Oyaide outlets with isolated grounds. Hooked up sources and preamp to the lines to start with......, and sound is much clearer and as a result slightly on thinner side (in comparison, although still anything but analytical). I know it is not Oyaide outlets because I had them connected on regular lines and they sounded warmer. (I have electrician coming back today to try out different phase than the refrigerator, ac, microwave etc. to check if the current in phase circuit breaker is not causing the change in sound)
So the question is, in your experience, the new 20 amp lines need to be broken in? How long does it need to be? or what could be the cause?
Thanks,
Nil

Nilthepill, Glad to hear the electrician terminated the safety equipment grounding conductors in the same panel the branch circuits are fed from. As for the sound you are now hearing, if I understand you correctly, you were not using the R1 recepts on the old existing 15 amp circuit. Is that correct? >>>>>>>> Food for thought.... even plain old NM-B cable, (romex is an example of NM-B cable), has a dielectric of thermoplastic (PVC) insulation covered with a nylon jacket. http://www.soundstage.com/yfiles/yfiles200005.htm |
