| Any Environment Potentials EP-2050 users out there Thanks for the reply Rhyno. Little confused. I have to admit, most of this is way over my head. I hear what you are saying about diff noise, and EP claims to take care of that. Basically, any garbage created by the appliances in my house as well a... | |
| Isolation Transformer or Power Regenerator Ngjockey, Pardon my ignorance, but I am assuming that is a good thing? A 2.5 kva/120v iso would equal 20.8 amps, the size of the breaker on that line. Therefore, if all my equipment on that line has never caused the breaker to pop, the 2.5 KVA iso... | |
| Isolation Transformer or Power Regenerator Thanks for the link. So would a 5kva wired balanced (2.5 kva) be enough to run my entire system from the electrical panel? My system at around 1200 Watts would come in at less than half the rated output of the ISO (2500 Watts). | |
| Isolation Transformer or Power Regenerator Wow, more confused than ever. The Power Plant Premiere I was looking at is actually a newer unit that is 1500 watts and is reportedly much more efficient, quiet and cooler than the older units (300, 600, 1000, 1200). Is this still not enough for m... | |

| Wiring an Isolation Transformer Ok, I heard fromn the electrician. I now undertstand the open ground reading was expected behavior. My only remaining question is, how many watts can I safely put on a 1.8 KVA iso transformer? I had it wired for balanced, so I am assuming that kno... | |
| Wiring an Isolation Transformer Today I had the unit wired as described above. The electrician checked it with a multi-meter and got stable correct voltage. Just for giggles, I decided to hook up one of those cheap Home Depot plug-in testers to the unit, and it is showing an ope... | |
| Wiring an Isolation Transformer So does the following seem like a practical approach? Will this get me balanced isolation? Are their any safety concerns with this setup? Can I just use a good extension cord, cut in half, and wired in the manner described below? Input:Neutral (wh... | |
| Wiring an Isolation Transformer I have a friend who is an electrician coming over tomorrow. He has some experience with wiring isolation transformers. But I need to be able to tell what I want. So, if I am understanding this correctly, some are suggesting wiring this as 240v in ... | |
| Wiring an Isolation Transformer I have one dedicated 20A line run to my audio system. My plan was just to run digital components (Apple TV, DIP, Pre/DAC, Video Switcher maybe a Tivo) off it. Run the power amp and tv straight to the wall. 220 is not an option right now. Any ideas... | |
| Pangea Power Cables on McCormack DNA I decided on the Shunyata Venom 3. Great reviews, within my price range, and a long history of good synergy with McCormack sealed the deal. Thanks for your help. I'll let you know how it goes. | |
| YBA YA201 enough to drive Vandersteen 2ce I hang out alot at computeraudiophile also. Lots of conflicting info about apple tv. Some say its high jitter, some say it is not. Some say it would not matter if it was high jitter. I don't know what to think. I had hoped the DIP would remmove ji... | |
| YBA YA201 enough to drive Vandersteen 2ce Only other source is a tivohd for wife and child connected to 35" tube HDTV. What issues exist with the apple TV? | |
| AC Power Suggestions Well, I discovered that this storage area already has a dedicated line (1 line straight to the box) with a 125v/20A (T-slot) single receptacle on it, plus a non-dedicated line (connected to other outlets on the other side of the wall) with a duple... |
