| 100v,115v versus 230v jea48,"Unless a piece of equipment, like a monster power amp, consumes more than 1440 volt-amperes continuous power it’s a violation of US electrical safety code to install a 240V branch circuit and receptacle in a US residential dwelling."How doe... | |
| 100v,115v versus 230v clearthinker,I remember a note in the newspaper in Germany, before 2000 for sure, that mentioned intention to go up from 220V to 230V. It said "nothing will change but you may need to change your light bulbs a little more often".I may be mistaken ... | |

| Whats playing on your system today? stereo5,"So, there you go, I know everyone was dying to know."Not so fast. I have another question. Do you know what year was that SBM?I also always found SACD somehow underwhelming/overdone. | |

| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? "My wire distance is 4000 feet. What guage do you reccomend, 777MCM ?"Any longer and you will need a shortwave. | |
| 100v,115v versus 230v Two things that two people told me over time and I present them as I heard them.1. In the U.S.A., safety was a concern (check millercarbon’s post above). That ended up with more Amperes for the same Watt number. More Amperes is allegedly somehow m... | |

| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? The original thread was much more entertaining. This is only from the first page..."0 AWG? Call in the crane."

| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? glupson 08-05-2020 8:48pmIt is only partially true. Most of the manufacturers I have seen do post measurements. Of the length. Some, rare ones I think, do even post gauge. That would be about it, but is hard to catch them saying "never post measur... | |
| Why high-end cable manufacturers don't post measurements? b4icu,"I’d returned and will as many times as I like. Any problems with that?"Not at all,"If Amp’s DF is high, at 9’ length, a #0 or #00 is required.So suggest the calculation, so it improves the sound."Notice that my observation seems to have bee... |
