| How to remove ground pin on power cable Plug it in and unplug it about a thousand times, this has worked without exception on every Skilsaw and extension cord I've ever owned. (couldn't resist any longer) | |
| Accuphase amps t_ramey, look hard at the Luxman offerings, they're pretty highly regarded, and a bit more affordable than Accuphase. The L-509X is there TOTL class AB integrated, and the L-590AXMkII likewise in Class A. I own the L-590AX, which was the prior v... | |
| Can a turntable be stored in a garage? I wouldn't store anything like that in an unheated space. | |
| How to remove ground pin on power cable Jim, once again, thanks for taking the time. Haven't watched that video yet, but it's cued up. L. | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? I've said this a few times on similar threads. The biggest single improvement that I've made to date, most bang for the buck, was an after-market power cord on my amp. Couldn't believe my ears. | |
| How to remove ground pin on power cable Edison was a proponent of DC, he intended to wire our homes like giant flashlights. Tesla was the man behind alternating current. There was a need for grounded appliances, etc, from day one, Erik. No different really than seat belts. Just took a w... | |
| Are manufacturer AC cables good enough? This is akin to sitting at home with a cheese sandwich, and coming online to ask if we think you'll like it. | |
| How to remove ground pin on power cable Jim, I appreciate you taking the time, and also spelling it out in a way easily digested by a layman. I’m out west, in Oregon. The AHJ here for years was the State Electrical Inspector, most were great with one exception. A few years back, that re... | |

| How to remove ground pin on power cable We have trees. Of course, they're far more likely to crush our house in a storm than get hit by lightning. Whadya gonna do? | |

| How to remove ground pin on power cable miller, as much as I appreciate 99% of your posts, I’m not sure how you defend your position on this. It’s simple. The ground is the only safeguard in the event that any metal item becomes energized due to an equipment defect or failure. Our house... | |
| How to remove ground pin on power cable Erik, thanks. Your last post is generally in line with my observations. (I’m a builder, been 31 years). Everything gets dedicated ground rods now. No waterpipes, no Ufers cast in the foundation, etc. It’s not that a buried line wouldn’t normally b... | |
| How to remove ground pin on power cable Mickeyb, if the panel and meter are grounded to two ground rods (NEC code currently, I believe) what is the additional grounding to the water line?? I’m curious. | |
| How to remove ground pin on power cable From some posts here, apparently many homes continue to be grounded via the water line. Haven't done that here for ages, almost all of the plumbing is PEX, and even on older homes (like mine), enough modern repairs have been made with plastic that... |
