| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Thanks for the safety suggestions, all. I aim to have a dedicated line but that has to wait on some home renovations. At the moment, I just want to locate my gear where the shelves, etc. are -- but that's where the weird outlets are. I'll be careful. | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Thanks, Jim. Later today, I will probably try this. Or tomorrow.Before I proceed -- I want to be clear that so far I have tested multiple outlets on this daisy chain -- they all read as reversed.I do not yet know how far back they go. QUESTION: Ar... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Thanks djones. | |
| How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all?? +1 @br3098 Your post is *the* answer to the OP. | |
| Used DAC choice: Schiit modi 2u for $69 vs. Peachtree DAC-iT? Good point. I did rip most of my CD's as MP3's back in the day, and now I'm ripping them again. I do like the convenience and the sound is hard to distinguish. So, we'll see. I am more focused on a stand alone listening area than I have been in ye... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? @cissado -- I would need to reverse the initial one, no? Or perhaps it's messed up all the way back at the box? I am shying away... | |
| Used DAC choice: Schiit modi 2u for $69 vs. Peachtree DAC-iT? Thanks Uber and Mesch. Regardless of whether there's a noticeable audio improvement between the file types (and perhaps some will offer their experiences) there is something nice about putting in a CD and having that artist's album as a natural bo... | |

| Used DAC choice: Schiit modi 2u for $69 vs. Peachtree DAC-iT? Ok, a bit of an update.I compared some lossless files vs. CD.I cannot tell any differences now.Here’s what I compared:NO NOTICEABLE DIFFERENCE:When the source is a lossless FLAC file, I *cannot* tell the difference between:* Node 2i streaming loss... | |
| Used DAC choice: Schiit modi 2u for $69 vs. Peachtree DAC-iT? @djones I will do that. I was going to wait until I had my new speakers, though I have to say these old Pinnacle bookshelves with a Rel subwoofer are sounding lovely. They were a good company, I suspect, though these are the only Pinnacles I've he... | |
| Used DAC choice: Schiit modi 2u for $69 vs. Peachtree DAC-iT? @djones, you were right about how hard it might be to hear a difference between the DAC chips. I got the Peachtree DAC today and tried it out against the Node 2i streamer. Some listening reports.It’s hard to control all the variables, but I played... | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? Got it. | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? That's fantastic -- thank you so much. It's a snowy day in Denver today and I am shut inside. I'm printing this out for reference. | |
| Line fault at the outlet -- do I need an electrician? @bryhifi I have a digital multimeter. I use it to test car batteries. I suppose I might use that, too, no? In any case, I can get the three prong outlet if necessary. Thanks for the picture you sent -- I've saved that.@cissado @heaudio thank you f... | |
