| High Powered Wireless Network for Audio Your router may be just getting tired. I had an access point that seemed to put out less signal as it aged. I went with 2 access points because I have a lot of foil faced insulation in my house as well as duct work which I think created shields. T... | |
| High Powered Wireless Network for Audio You should go to the Linksys website for a complete tutorial. I had difficulty getting a wireless signal from one side of my house to the other, so what I did was get 2 routers, one for each side connected by a wire with the routing function disab... | |
| Best Phono solid state under 2K? I never read a bad review of the Grado PH-1 ($500). I have one with a tube preamp and a low output MM (0.5mV) and love the sound. Crisp and airy highs, thumpy tight bass, high headroom doesn't distort when stressed. | |
| I am at the end of my rope, please help Did you try both of your "suspect" cartridges on another table/system/speakers? Or how about a cheap/different brand cartridge on yours? In addition-I'm just going to throw this one out to you because it happened to a friend of mine, so please don... | |
| Rectifier tube keeps blowing I think we pissed Devilboy off, but I'd love to see a picture of your tree. Even my wife would appreciate it. Merry Christmas!! | |
| More Grounding Questions Hey Al,Very nice Jensen paper. I gave it to my son who is studying to be an EE. Even though the paper starts out a little technical, the conclusions and tips section at the end make recommendations to minimize ground loops pertinent to this thread... | |
| More Grounding Questions Vett93This new post of yours has a lot more going on than the original (ground rod placement and ways to minimize noise). And by the way, everything I suggested was from personal practice after consulting EEs and Union Electricians. Being a retail... | |
| More Grounding Questions I definitely would not connect the AC ground to the Chassis. The designer would have done so if he wanted, and may have in fact. I would only plug the component into AC as directed.Likewise, I would not connect the signal ground to chassis, again,... | |
| Grounding Rod If you want to reduce noise from ground loop potentials, just make sure all connected components are on the same circuit and properly polarized. If you mix video and audio, be careful because a lot of noise can come over the CATV cable. In that ca... | |
| Rectifier tube keeps blowing That's my kind a guy "Class A all the way"! Do they hang from sockets or did you glue little hooks to the glass? You better get a patent before Hallmark finds out. | |
| Rectifier tube keeps blowing Trelja-You really decorate your tree with old tubes? I have some old dusty, busted up EL34s from a ST70 that I'm working on. The glass is mostly intact but separated from the bases. They each say Dynaco by Mullard. An authentic set of collectible ... | |
| Grounding Rod Jea48, Thank you. Very illustrative explanation as to why it would be a such a bad idea to have an outlet connected to it's own ground rod. That's a ground fault easy to understand. Some folks may poo-poo the NEC rules, but they're in place to gua... | |
| Grounding Rod GbartI'm pretty sure the subject "ground fault protection" was never addressed before in this thread concerning where to place the ground rod, either on the equipment or on the outlet, nor am I sure it applies. Regardless, the subject "ground faul... | |
| This is no joke. If you remember the 70's, you really weren't there! | |
| Grounding Rod Thank you. I try to pay attention. My best friend growing up became an electrical engineer then a PhD Biomedical engineer. We both had similar hobbies (electronics) and both read the NEC (National Electric Code) book when we bought and redid our h... |
