| Solid State Phono Pre-amp Recommendations .Since you don't have any budget limits I recommend a Zanden 1200. | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? .Let's put this in perspective.............You are more likely to be struck by lightning than to be killed by a stereo, radio, or television.I don't think I'll worry about floating my preamp. | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? .I understand where you are coming from but don't know enough about the power grid and design to say one way or the other.I do know that a switching supply that doesn't use a transformer could get hooked up so the hot side of the AC line was conne... | |
| What is "low ball" .Polk, I never said you were charging for a money order. I said you were charging extra for Paypal.I think you are just messing with me,,, right?Lets just drop it, the little one liner jabs you are interjecting don't make any sense to anybody but ... | |
| What is "low ball" .Ok, if you think you are right, I'll knock off 500.00 now please put your money where your mouth is or shut up. You don't have the money anyway, so what's your point? No paypal fee no money order fee and no anchovies. Whaaa Whaaa Whaaa.Of course ... | |
| What is "low ball" Polk, it is very simple.Do I or do I not have to spend more to use Paypal with you?If you pay more for a pizza when it is delivered than you do when you pick it up then you are paying a delivery fee. It doesn't matter that they call it a discount ... | |
| What is "low ball" .Mark, I would respond with a price near my bottom line. "I can take X including shipping and Paypal and no less." It takes about 20 seconds to respond, why should I ignore a potential customer no matter how low they start? Some people start very ... | |
| What is "low ball" .Cyclo, not directly at you, I just saw several comments from different people about insults.I usually include ground shipping and raise my price just a bit to cover that as it so much easier than going back and forth to get a shipping price and b... | |
| What is "low ball" .A low offer is an insult? Really? An insult?You put something up for sale on the internet and then you get offended when somebody makes an offer you decide is too low? Ignore them if you want but to get offended is really pretty silly.I've sold a... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? .Just curious about your thoughts,... if the PS uses an IE transformer with an electrostatic shield that is connected to the metal chassis, enclosure, of the PS and the equipment ground contact of the IEC connector. If the ground is floating will ... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? .I was wrong and Elizabeth is right. The risk of death or injury from floating a ground is so low it is not a practical concern.I apologize for my previous comment.. | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? ,Thanks Elizabeth, as expected, another worthless post about technical mattersPeople do die by electrocutionThat number has dropped dramatically because of increased safety standardslaughing it off as a joke is irresponsible and childish. | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? .Why did the designer/manufacture of the DAC power supply decide he wanted a safety equipment ground for his equipmentI don't believe he did. http://www.wickeddigital.com.au/index.php/shop-by-category-find-a-product-type/product/view/11/281That is... | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? .Purely a guess but I agree with the idea that the Japanese stuff comes with the standard 3 wire input jack to be just that; standard. Those who like to play with power cords would shy away if they couldn't do that.. | |
| Ungrounded power cord: Will I die? ,Kijanki is correct on all points. Elizabeth, as usual, gives incomplete and/or bad advice. Eugene, I really can't say how equipment designed for the Japanese market is configured, but the use of a ground connection (3rd prong) to a metal case is ... |
