| Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil. @mitch2 . A good example where a shield is also used as a signal ground is a Coax Cable. | |
| Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil. @mitch2 said: Are you assuming the shield is acting as the ground? Not assuming, Stating a fact... IF it is connected at both ends with the EGC, (Equipment Grounding Conductor). (Therein male plug end and IEC connector end.) It becomes a para... | |
| Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil. Iconoclast paper ICONOCLAST will use double ground interconnect shields and proper DCR RCA grounds. Power Cables should also use grounds at BOTH ends if you have a proper GROUND plane resistance such that ZERO current flows and thus you have ZE... | |
| Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil. @richardbrand Said: Consider whether the RFI carried by power cords is actually generated by the components they power, not by the wall supply! Much more plausible ... Agree. . | |
| Wrapping power cords and interconnects with copper foil. Can’t say I have seen, ever used, unshielded phono interconnects from the TT to the phono preamp. . . @tubelvr1 said: @carlsbad2 no didn’t ground it, just wrapped it with self adhesive foil. Seems to work wonders. It doesn’t need to be grou... | |
| New Electrical Circuit @puffbojie said: My understanding is when connecting the amplifier to a 20-amp circuit that the amplifier will draw only the current it requires. That is correct. . Regarding the 20 amp circuit, vs a 15 amp circuit, would you not need a 20 ... | |
| Why does Audiogon need my phone number to send private messages @paulcreed Said: Anytime I log in they have to send me a text, how do I get my phone number off there list. Does that mean I can’t post anything without a text by.audiogon You don’t need to remove your phone number. Go to your Edit Account pa... | |
| New Electrical Circuit Between (a) running 3 separate homeruns to the panel as mentioned above, and (b) a single homerun powering a subpanel in the listening room, which would you recommend? @devinplombier Not a simple question to answer. Best answer I can give is, ... | |
| New Electrical Circuit @puffbojie My electrical box is outside. Can they encase the (Southwire Armorlite 125-ft 10/2 Solid Aluminum MC (Metal Clad) Cable) inside metal conduit for the outside portion for weather proofing? Not really. The electrician can use a, (ex... | |
| New Electrical Circuit @jea48 Do you normally specify isolated ground and is that why you recommend MC? @devinplombier For a residential house I never recommend an isolated ground. It would not serve any purpose what so ever. FYI even in commercial and ind... | |
| New Electrical Circuit @puffbojie The electricians have it scheduled for 15 amp circuit. My guess, the electrician you are hiring is not an audiophile. He is basing his install of a 15 amp branch circuit on bare minimum electrical code. Electrical code could care l... | |
| Interconnect Break In? A load is needed to complete a circuit for current to travel in the circuit from the source through the load back to the source. No load, no current. No current no electromagnetic fields. Does a closed circuit exist if the preamp is powered off? ... | |
| Interconnect Break In? Does the preamp need to be on? As @ozzy said there needs to be signal passing from the source to a load. Load is the Preamp in this case. Naturally the preamp would need to have the input selected for the CDP. Could the preamp be set to the inpu... |
