| Dedicated mains supply unexpected result I assume that the work done was more than just a wire replacement but that you also had a new panel installed? Get something like the Quille plug in voltage tester (9 pounds) on Amazon and watch it while playing music. Pay attention to the Neutr... | |
| Surge protector @markcasazza I quote pi.ai: Both Panamax and Furman are owned by the same parent company, Linear, LLC, which is a division of Nortek, Inc. In 2006, Panamax acquired Furman Sound, and since then, Furman has operated as a second brand within Pan... | |
| This sound-suppressing silk can create quiet spaces If they make blackout curtains with this tech I'm totally in. | |
| Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms? I’m going to trust in my Furman, APC and Tripp Lite gear to seem me through this storm too. As I pointed out in another thread, a CNN weather reporter was recommending we all disconnect our dryers. Of all the pieces of gear in his home this is ... | |
| Surge protector @jea48 - Furman with SMP will protect in both cases you mentioned. It uses series mode protection (SMP) which has no activation time. My understanding is that they rate surge protectors for 5kV surges specifically because the expectation is that ... | |
| Hsu has custom high pass filters To the point of slopes, I think THX had the best idea when they attempted to use the speakers + active crossovers to achieve Linkwitz-Riley 4th order filters. The idea is that the sealed satellite speaker, crossed at 80 Hz would naturally produce... | |
| Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer! So, to all of you who plug your amps straight into the wall without using protection like your daddy told you to, let's see how we all fair on the other side of this. :) | |
| Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer! @ghdprentice I'm going to try to put my binoculars and solar filters together tomorrow and take a close look! | |
| Surge protector And let us not forget solar flares! https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/solar-flares-are-here-everyone-unplug-your-dryer | |
| Surge protector @bigtwin Never said otherwise, but most damaging surges are not direct, and I'm definitely not home about 80% of the time there's lightning around the home. | |
| Surge protector @wharfy We've discussed Brickwall /Zerosurge, above. I'd suggest you look at the Wirecutter article for pros and cons. | |
| Surge protector @bigtwin Not really a difference for surge protection between Type 1 and Type 2 except where it can be installed. Being type 1 is not necessarily better for your computer or stereo because they still have similar clamping voltages, but if you can... | |
| Surge protector @ozzy I read, I think, that the engineer who did the Furman SMP/LiFT tech went to work at Audioquest. Maybe I'm mistaken? | |
| Marantz vs. Arcam @neoshah I’m not pleased with the EQ settings Anthem’s room correction makes. Unfortunately I didn’t pay more attention to the details. While it has many configuration options it does not let me have what I most desire: Hand crafted parametric EQ ... | |
| Marantz vs. Arcam @neoshah Thanks. I have a modern Anthem and the EQ limitations is making me look elsewhere. In particular, I want to hand craft what the EQ does, and the Anthem has no such feature. The more advanced Marantz units and DirecLive should give me ful... |
