| Sales or clearances happening now Thanks tyray! | |
| Sales or clearances happening now @ebm I don't want to make things worse for anyone. Are you suggesting that it's better not to buy things that sellers have chosen to offer for sale? Clearly, they are coerced by circumstances. I did not create these circumstances, nor did anyone h... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Yes. | |
| Sales or clearances happening now Thanks for the tips.(I started another thread about this topic and it went south, fast. Weird, too, since anyone with the time to criticize someone for posting about audio clearly has the time to do *that*.)There's an Octave integrated at 40% off. | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Maybe the terminology is messing me up.I have one panel in the house.At the top, is the master on/off. Below are the breakers. I thought that's what you meant by subpanel. It is not a separate panel, in the sense that it is not another separate me... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? @erik_squires Yes, 4v went away with breaker in off position.Circuit is fed from subpanel, yes.It is an independent 15A breaker switch.I have not seen any boxes. The subpanel sends out a thick orange wire affixed to the ceiling (exposed beams) and... | |
| Thoughts on choosing an amplifier I really liked the Parasound I heard (the A23+ driving Spendor towers). The more I learn about Parasound, the more I respect and trust them as a company. If I wasn't headed for tubes, I'd buy Parasound, very likely, unless a Belles or Pass or some... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Thanks for that process. It sounds like this test does not require me taking the outlet out --just testing the ohms with the multimeter. That doesn't seem very unsafe, but I'll follow instructions carefully if I do it. | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Got it. All those are good questions, but I think the ultimate solution is to delegate this whole thing. But now I know what to ask the professionals. This amateur is sticking with writing and teaching. Thanks again. | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Jim, all, Thanks SO much for sticking it out on this detective inquiry! The 4v issue is weird, because the multimeter does not read 4v on a properly wired outlet on a different circuit. I'm glad the Panamax revealed the issue, though, especiall... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? I will go measure the light can again but I need to figure out where to touch the probes.I remeasured the outlet. Here are the readings that I got:Ground to neutral slot equals 121.6ground to hot slot equals 3.6neutral to hot equals 124.6Hot to ne... | |

Some answers to questions posed earlier:I threw the breaker.This circuit runs back to the main panel on a 15 amp breaker.This circuit runs:outlets downstairsoutlets upstairsceiling lightsI turned breaker back on.Some data:The multimeter says 3.4. ... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Thanks Al. Your use of all caps is exactly what they were meant for.I won't open an outlet until I'm 110% sure it's off. After all, I've pledged my life to the COVID virus; I can't cheat it by electrocuting myself. (Please pardon the gallows humor... | |
