| Surge Suppression vrs. Lighting and Power Spikes Yes, that is a problem with ground rods alone. Might be it's part of the reason for the bonding to the homes ground too. Plus less chances of arcing over I imagine. I saw that link Jea48 posted and couldn't find it again. Thanks for posting it. Go... | |
| Surge Suppression vrs. Lighting and Power Spikes I should have said, all of the ground rods(antenna included), need to be bonded with your homes electrical grounding block, if my memory is correct. Years back, I think you could just use an arrester and ground rod alone, without the all of the bo... | |
| Surge Suppression vrs. Lighting and Power Spikes People believe that grounded antenna attracts lightning. It is exactly opposite - ungrounded antenna attracts lightning since it is floating (separated from the circuit by input transformer) and charged by the friction of the wind to very high sta... | |
| Surge Suppression vrs. Lighting and Power Spikes Unplugging everything you can is the best bet. There is protection (arrester plus other?),on the utility end that should transfer most of that strike to ground. But, if the pole or one in your area gets hit, there is some spike voltage(when their ... | |
| How many electrons? Thanks for the answers. This thread turned into a good one. | |
| Hum aint fun If there are no wires under it, that's odd. No AC shielding through a wood arm mount though, if that is the case. Could the hum possibly be the mechanical vibration from the motor coming through the cartridge? Hard feet, or something else that mad... | |
| How many electrons? As I said earlier, if the OP was asking about the number of electrons that might make a complete round-trip from amp terminal to speaker and back to the other amp terminal, then I certainly agree that the number would be zero or close to itAlmarg,... | |
| Vinyl composition effect on noise floor [http://vimeo.com/24946684]< Above link. It must what they used to make the vinyl itself. Your other colored records must be of higher quality than this one. I don't recall seeing one like this. Another guess would be the red part doesn't let t... | |
| Do Interconnects need to "warm up"? I'm with the amp and other electronic equipment is warming up group. There is more warm up during listening, than standby. If you have air conditioning, try setting it cooler when you start listening. That will cool the cables (if cooler air gets ... | |
| Hum aint fun If you don't have a ground wire from the metal (if metal) turntable chassis, try one from it to the preamp phono ground. | |
| best rca cable for deep controlled bass If you don't know the difference between electricity and electronics, you have no business hanging out on this forum to make know-it-all, smart ass comments.You're confusing the difference between electric current and electronic signal. They are t... | |
| best rca cable for deep controlled bass Those cables must have odd characteristics then. We are talking about cables carrying audio frequencies. | |
| best rca cable for deep controlled bass And yet electric takes about .000.000.001 second to travel one foot. Amazing. | |
| best rca cable for deep controlled bass The RCA cable won't improve deep bass. Try repositioning it. | |
| SummerTime and Amp Heat I forgot about that song (Don't Worry). I need to listen to it, but will still worry about something anyway.LOL. |
