| The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing I had already ran two dedicated 20A lines into my living room. A 10AWG stranded line for all the audio crap and 12AWG Romex (solid core) line for the TV and computer crap including the Streamer. . I’d installed a junction box inside the ga... | |
| The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing I think the First Surge claims to react within a nano second. Ya, but what will be the clamping voltage for your installation? . The amount of time it takes electricity to travel 12 inches. The length of the wires looks longer than 12 i... | |

| 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... | |
