| Do you believe in Magic? 04-20-12: Chadeffect...one has to understand & keep in mind the obsessive illness that does dominate this hobby...It is easy to let the gear get in the way of the music. I agree with this, Chad. I suspect every audiophile has had the experienc... | |
| How do you judge your system's neutrality? Dog reaction is an amusing test of a system's realism. After a significant system improvement, my dog reacts the same way I do... "What was that?!" After a few days, it wears off, and she doesn't react again until the next major upgrade. I guess t... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 04-19-12: SonicbeautyNow someone, tell me again this hobby is about music enyoyment, musical artists and artisans, and not about gear, tweaking and ''sound''.Haven't we been through this Sonicbeauty? And on this very thread. Since you are repeatin... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Hi Dave - Thanks for those links. They are very informative.As far as A'gon rejecting your post because it was "too short," that is just strange. And arbitrary. My last post on this thread was two words long.What's more, it seems like I've been he... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Thanks, Al. | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Question...When I went around placing ferrites on everything in sight, I put a number of ferrites on wall warts with DC outputs. Do ferrites have the same effects on DC as AC? Are ferrites appropriate for DC?Bryon | |
| Do you believe in Magic? 04-17-12: Almarg...I would suggest that you make a point of separately assessing the results with music having narrow dynamic range and modest peak volume levels, that presumably would not cause your amp to leave Class A, and, for example, symphon... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Update... I have not forgotten about my promise to A/B (and preferably, blind A/B) the grounding pigtails that I thought were effective. There was a little snag...As I mentioned, since my crossovers are sealed in a cabinet in the wall, I was going... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Thanks, Al. That looks like a great reference guide, though much of it is over my head. I think at some point I'll take a course in electronic engineering, to get a firmer grasp on some of the more difficult concepts.I read a few of Ott's articles... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please I agree that the current configuration seems to maximize the benefit of the reclocker's galvanic isolation. I have a follow up question for you, Al, about the dissipation of noise in an equipment's chassis... Is the dissipation potential of a chas... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Yes, Al, the plate is directly under the switch. I placed it there to keep the braided ground strap as short as possible, to minimize any antenna effect. Out of curiosity, is there another reason why it should be directly under the switch?Also, I ... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please 03-04-12: Almarg...for shielding to be effective at high frequencies, as Dr. Johnson indicated the shield should be grounded at both ends. But I believe that the key element of what he is referring to by "grounding" is a connection at each end bet... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Magic is the word Ive been using to refer to something with a known effect but an unknown explanation. I chose the word magic because, when you encounter something with a known effect but an unknown explanation, the experience can be similar ... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Hi Al -- I didn't realize from our earlier discussion that removing the PSU ground wire would reduce the level of noise filtering. Back it goes!Hi Mapman -- I've looked at Mu metal a few times. It seems like an interesting product. I elected to us... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please The Meridian G68 has a ground wire running from the IEC input to the chassis. As discussed in earlier posts, the G68's PSU has a SECOND ground wire that is also connected to the chassis, but at a different point. You can see a diagram here. You ca... |
