| Mark Levinson No. 20.6 vs. Krell KRS 200 vs. Krell KAS You'll want to install the highest capacity breaker that your branch circuit and electric code will allow. If you're at all uncertain about that value, you should consult with an electrician. | |
| Cheater plug safety gbmcleod... I've been lifting grounds for 35 years, and have not had a problem. From what I was taught (in High End audio), the ground should be at the preamp, and you lift the ground at other places.I agree with @eric_squires:you are defeati... | |
| power conditioner randy-11Consumer audio is rife with confirmation bias. The only way to eliminate that problem is to use blind tests. You've committed the logical fallacy of the excluded middle. Long-term listening will reveal a component's true qualities, and ... | |
| power conditioner randy-11 ... blind listening tests are critical to evaluation ...Perhaps that's true for you, but most audiophiles have no use for blind listening tests. They're tricky to conduct properly and if they're not done properly, the results are of no ... | |
| Cheater plug safety jea48 Trust me it does meet NEC codeThe NEC is updated every three years and the source you previously cited is 14 years old. Sorry, but using a 15A device on a 20A circuit is not compliant with current code. I don't doubt, however, that "it is ... | |
| Cheater plug safety jea481mSorry, you are wrong. It is NEC Code compliant.Perhaps you should read the code that you referenced:" A single receptacle must have an ampere rating of not less than the overcurrent device protecting the branch circuit."You cannot use 15A... | |
| Cheater plug safety erik_squires1m... One 20A circuit may feed multpile 15A receptacles ... It’s perfectly safe to put a 15 A receptacle on a 20 A circuit, but it won’t have the T socket for 20A devices.Strictly speaking, it is not safe. It is against code. Conside... | |
| Cheater plug safety jea4811-07-2016 10:00am You can install two or more 15 amp receptacles, (a duplex is two), On a 20 amp circuit though. You can install a 15 amp receptacle on a 20 amp circuit, but you shouldn't and it violates NEC. A 15A device isn't rated to ca... | |
| Phono interconnects acting as antenna, adding noise to system jricci Would running cables through a braided sheild in the conduit work?Before undertaking additional work, you should try correcting your improper electrical safety ground that is " independent from rest of house " and be sure that it is prope... | |
| Phono interconnects acting as antenna, adding noise to system jricci Separate audio system ground independent of house ground All audio grounds share single ground with no ground loops To what is your audio system grounded? Again, all electrical grounds should be bonded to the neutral in your service panel... | |
| Time to choose: Baerwald, Lofgren, Stevenson ? fleibChakster mentioned Feickert in OP. Great device based on the Dennison Soundtractor, gets excellent results as long as it's used properly.Both of those protractors are flawed because they assume the cantilever is perfectly aligned within ... | |
| Phono interconnects acting as antenna, adding noise to system I have a coincident phono amplifier and biamped coincident speakers with dedicated 20 A circuits from a separate panel share a common star ground (independent from rest of house). There is not ground hum, but when phono to amplifier interco... | |
| Cheater plug safety jetter... does older equipment such as a Dynaco ST70 that has its original 2 prong plug have a greater shock potential?Yes, it actually does have a greater shock potential, because the ST70 was obviously a Class II device. This is why the thre... | |
| Cheater plug safety @kijanki is absolutely correct. If a device has a plug with a safety ground, it's a Class 1 appliance and defeating the ground poses a safety risk. If you have a noisy ground, lifting the ground isn't the solution. Star grounding can help, as can ... | |
