| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Hi Al - I checked for continuity between the tabs in the computer's ethernet port and the computer's IEC ground pin. You were right, the port is grounded.Correct me if I am wrong, Al, but that seems to help explain something that puzzled me at the... | |
| Do you believe in Magic? Today I had another encounter with Magic. I installed a maestro outlet for my dedicated line. It replaced another outlet from a highly regarded (as these things go) manufacturer. I tried the new outlet out of curiosity. And by 'curiosity' I mean p... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Thanks again, Al. A few final questions...You mentioned a couple times that a ground must have an "effective path." I don't really know what the factors are that make a ground path effective.To ground the ethernet switch, I drilled through the met... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Here are the results of my experiments with grounding THE SETUPCOMPUTER ->50 shielded ethernet cable ->ETHERNET SWITCH ->1 ethernet cable ->SONOS ->s/pdif cable ->RECLOCKER ->s/pdif cable ->MERIDIAN G68 ->analog interc... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Thanks, Al, for that detailed response. I'm in the middle of a long series of tests, trying to determine the best grounding arrangement. I will report back when the results are in.Bryon | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Follow up... I bought this ethernet switch to replace my Apple Airport and it works great. But when I got around to grounding it yesterday, I discovered that there is no obvious way to ground it.I thought there would be a grounding tab on the chas... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Hey Sean - You can see a picture of some of the shields I added to the Meridian G68 here. I haven't taken a picture of the other enclosures yet.Bryon | |
| Anyone HEARD the qol 'signal completion' device? Ive just read through this thread with considerable interest. I have not heard the QOL, but from what I can tell from this thread and from the information on the BSG website, QOL is designed to accomplish something very similar to Trifield, the s... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please Update Things are winding down. Heres what Ive added to the system:--A total of 11 shields to the Meridian G68. Each shield is a sandwich comprised of 16 gauge copper, 22 gauge steel, and TI Shield. I placed shields around the power supply, the... | |
| Shielding components from EMI/RFI... Help please My TI Shield arrived yesterday. I was thinking about placing it around the switching mode power supply in the G68. I think Kijanki warned me not to get magnetic materials too close to the power supply.Anyone know how close is too close? And what w... | |
| Are film capacitors directional? Thanks, Al!! | |
| Are film capacitors directional? Thanks guys.R2 = 10W 3.3ΩR4= 5W 3.9Ωbc | |
| Are film capacitors directional? Since Al's valiant effort to help me determine the directionality of these caps has failed to produce an answer, I emailed Parts Connexion, who sold me the Mundorf caps. They said this...Regarding the caps...while caps aren't polarized.....some pe... | |
| The Emperor DAC has no Clothes 02-19-12: LearsfoolMy main point in this context is to state that too many audiophiles tend to assume that just because component A uses a more expensive part than component B, that it is therefore going to sound better.I think you're probably rig... | |
| Are film capacitors directional? Hi Al,I borrowed a Fluke 115 from a friend. Here is the owner's manual. I tried the procedure again, and again I got confusing results. I think I should seek medical assistance for a severe multimeter learning disability.At the risk of testing you... |
