| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? The cables shown in the pics carry DC power, but how is DC vs AC apples to oranges as far as the quality of the cables is concerned? The rectified DC is filtered through electrolytic caps to smooth out the full wave DC ripples and then in many ... | |
| AC Power @mitch2 There is a very good chance that digital front end equipment already has voltage regulators on the DC power side of the equipment. Good chance that holds true on at least solid state preamps. Maybe even for tube preamps. As for digital ... | |
| Does this make sense The only TT’s that have P mount headshells are for DJ and commercial applications. That’s not true. I have two vintage direct drive TTs that have P mount head shells. A Marantz 6300 and a Sony PS X55. The Marantz has an S shape arm. The Sony h... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @oberoniaomnia, aren't both cables in the photos above DC power from the power supply to the receiving equipment. Wouldn't that be comparing apples to oranges. . | |
| AC Power @gdnrbob , thanks for the kind words. . | |
| AC Power So I guess that this means that the 240A breaker for my drier is using both legs? Correct. Hot L1 leg to Hot L2 leg measures 240V, nominal. L1 to neutral as well as L2 to neutral measures 120V, nominal. And also: the way you explained that ... | |
| AC Power @signaforce said: Of a potentially more problematic nature, the Bonus Room leg on the fuse box includes 2 furnaces, 2 AC’s, 2 refrigerators. Looks like I need dedicated lines wired to the other leg. Sounds like you might be thinking all the ... | |
| AC Power Interesting, my nephew thinks neither are worth the investment. His statement: “Do you have appliances on the circuit now? What kind of interference can they inject?...voltage drops would come from current draws...which trip breakers. Not steady ... | |
| Does this make sense Not sure what your contraption does? It’s a P mount headshell. It has a arm finger lift. It has a fine tuning adjustment screw to dial in the cartridge/stylus alignment. Mass of the headshell? Just a guess it is low. No more than a standard ... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? The reason I am asking is I feel manufacturers of high quality components include all that is ever needed, power cable wise. . I’m just curious why many spend thousands of dollars on such when the manufacturer has taken the power cable into a... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @aberyclark I doubt atmasphere reads through new threads/posts daily on Agon. Chances are he would miss this thread of yours. There is a way you might get his attention and he might respond to your thread. Might... JMHO, you come off with a negat... | |
| Would it make sense and be safe to put power conditioner in front of PS Audio regenerator? But the dirty power happens outside the home Actually not. The majority of it happens within the home. and you can’t do anything about it with a dedicated line. Not most of the dirty power, but 100% of it so long as you have nothing else o... | |
| Would it make sense and be safe to put power conditioner in front of PS Audio regenerator? Not in front of–but you could try beside. Use one for the source, the other for the amps. Use same twin outlet. Also try direct to the receptacle with no conditioners. This brings up a thought after reading the post. I assume the output of th... | |
| Would it make sense and be safe to put power conditioner in front of PS Audio regenerator? a dedicated line does almost nothing to improve the quality of the power--it ensures that you have adequate current. Strongly disagree... Depending on the wiring method(s) used for the in and out branch circuit wiring connections at every wall ... | |
| Would it make sense and be safe to put power conditioner in front of PS Audio regenerator? I wouldn’t. It could restrict the power to the input of the Power Plant Premier. If anything just use a good 5ft or 6ft audiophile grade power cord. Minimum 12awg conductors. (Borrow for a listen before you buy, if possible) How tight are the wal... |
