Wanna know how noisy your AC is ?


Would you also like to know if your "AC treatments" are getting rid of the majority of noise ? Well, now you can : )

I'm going to set up a small "AC analysis kit" that will be available on a "borrow as needed" case. It will consist of an Audioprism AC Line Sniffer, an AC Polarity checker and a multimeter to verify "most proper" polarity of your components in terms of chassis ground / power cord orientation. To make things easy, i'll probably type up a brief set of instructions on how to use the Sniffer and the multimeter. The AC Polarity checker is a no-brainer, so no notes needed.

If you are interested in borrowing these, please respond here and i'll try to work out a schedule. This will only be going to people with positive Agon feedback and / or a very consistent history of posting here in the forums. I realize that some of the contributors here are not consistent buyers / sellers of gear and would not want to disregard them for that reason.

Obviously, this will be done on the "honour system", so i'm trusting in you to use them and return them in the condition that you received them AND do so on a timely basis. Borrowers of this "kit" will be responsible for insured return shipping. If there are enough people interested, i'll set up some type of rotation so that you can ship to someone relatively close. This will keep costs down to a bare minimum for all involved.

Sound like a plan ? Sean

Question on the Elfix. Is it the same basic thing at this-
http://www.lowes.com/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=157879-1781-GVD-504AD

It goes beep beep when it detects current, and on my super DIY shielded power cords no beep beep...

Well since I have most of this I would love a copy of the directions...:) How much weight do you give to the AudioPrism Line Sniffer? I have a local dealer and of course with his power conditioner made no noise and a whole bunch of noise on my conditioners. I heard no improvement with his conditioner so I left things where they are at...

Thanks
Marty
Sean: The Lowes special also has variable sensitivity . I've always scratched my head at reducing leakage because my "boxes" beep like crazy anyways...TV big time as one would expect. Another reason to not put a TV smack in the middle of ones audio circuit I guess.

Thanks
