| This makes no sense, but yet.... That is silly. Directionality of a cable is determined from a few purposely defined characteristics. I hate to say this and sound rude...but the quality control must be lacking if you experience an obvious difference. There is absolutely NO reason... | |
| This makes no sense, but yet.... You may already know this but just in case, the arrow on the Nordost cable points to the source, not the direction of flow like every other cable.11-06-09: RhljazzRhljazz, I believe at one point Nordost changed their mind..... Early cables arrow t... | |
| This makes no sense, but yet.... I had the sprung cables between my CDP and amp and they were unbearibly bright -Try flipping them end for end and listen to them again. | |
| Will I benefit with 20 or 15 amp dedicated lines A subpanel can have its own grounding, isolated from the ground of the main panel. I used 6 gauge for the ground, bolted to the center of a buried 2'x2' steel plate as is done for swimming pool installations.10-28-09: EssentialaudioNot in the USA.... | |
| Will I benefit with 20 or 15 amp dedicated lines I can't understand why you need a 20 amp when your gear only uses about 500 watts. 1 amp= 110 watts so a 15 amp circuit is about 1700 watts; a 20 amp is about 2200 watts, it is like using a 5 amp fuse when you need a 1 amp fuse. You are better off... | |
| Will I benefit with 20 or 15 amp dedicated lines Kitegod,The biggest expense of the job will be for the labor of the electrician. Install 20 amp branch circuits. #12 awg NM-B cable minimum.....Make sure the new branch circuits are installed on breakers that are fed from the same Line, leg, in th... | |
| Mother of All Ground Loops I am going to send these amplifiers back to the company to get looked at by Klaus. You might want to send the preamp along with the amps.Could be a coupling problem between the preamp and power-amps.You never said in your posts if a moderate to lo... | |
| Hooking up two Topaz Isolation trans. in series? If I hook two topaz 1kva iso ultra transformers in series will I double the current capacity? I already have one 1kva topaz and am looking at another. Two of these at 16 amps would be enough for everything in my audio rack.Roddey99Roddey99,To incr... | |
| The Downside to Dedicated Lines vs. the Benefits One question I haven’t nailed down as yet: Do I need to buy both a 100 amp (or, perhaps the 60-70 amp you mentioned) breaker for one of the two available slots on the main panel AS WELL AS a 100 Amp main breaker at the sub panel?The sub panel does... | |
| The Downside to Dedicated Lines vs. the Benefits Unfortunately, I think your opinion lines up with mine and gives me reason to believe that a multiple circuit (dedicated or not) might cause more issues than it would solve.BTW, I noticed your comments were specific to equipment connected via IC's... | |
| The Downside to Dedicated Lines vs. the Benefits The existing branch circuit (which will continue to feed the cable box installed in the rack, the plasma TV in the other room, the wall wart devices, etc.) is terminated and grounded at the main panel 80 feet away. The dedicated lines would termin... | |
| 15 amp vs 20 amp difference? For this reason, changing the outlet to a 20A is risky without also changing the wiring from the breaker box to that outlet.Inline_philAnd that is why NEC says a 20 amp receptacle shall not be installed on a 15 amp branch circuit..... | |
| 15 amp vs 20 amp difference? Shunyata Research equipment is UL/CSA Listed. Beings they use 20 amp receptacles they have to use a 20 amp IEC male connector to get the UL seal of approval.For some reason a power cord with a 20 amp IEC connector and a 15 amp plug is ok with UL..... | |
| Improper ground Electrician had "really shaky hands" and I was nervous watching him attach my $144 Oyaide R1 AC Receptacle.LOL, can you imagine what was going through his mind... What kind of a nut would spend $144 bucks for a receptacle. He probably was thinking... | |
| Light bulbs are constanly burning out So if he has a 3V differential between ac neutral and ac safety ground at the particular outlet he measured, let's make the following rough assumptions:-- 100 feet of wiring from the outlet to where those two lines are bonded together at the servi... |
