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

One time he bragged about his power conditioner knowledge on the forums,so I asked him a question in a direct e-mail to him regarding how to fix my broken Tice .He nver responded,so a few days later I resend my e-mail.Nothing again.Then I put the question in one of his posts he didn't bother.That was my experience with the guy.No word of a lie.
Now why did he leave Audiogon?Anybody has a REAL answer?
Thanks
George

PS I don't hold any grange on the guy but please let's not worship him either.There are a lot of other fine members in here .
Sean is right. You will hear great noise from the Sniffer, but if you buy the now discontinued AudioPrism plug-ins to depress it, you will be very unhappy with your sound. I did have the Sniffer and 12 plug-ins at one time. Gradually, I removed them or relocated them to remote parts of my house away from my system. The fewer plug-ins I used and the further the few remaining were from my electronics, the better was the sound. Jim Weil of Sound Applications explained to me why this system does not work. Try it, however, as I expect we all have to prove it to ourselves.
