| Variac vs. Isolation vs. Balanced Transformer? ALL 06-03-09: Undertow.... actually this is a "Balanced transformer" so it will output if there is no loss 128 volts / 2 = 64 volts to the hot and 64 volts to the neutral on the duplex.Balanced is a fancy word for split phase..... The same type of tra... | |
| Variac vs. Isolation vs. Balanced Transformer? ALL Gbart, well hopefully there is no loss! But for some reason there is a claim of up to like 5% maybe saturation or something with most transformers? Still it should be better due to obviously cutting the voltage in half on and spreading on 2 phases... | |
| Variac vs. Isolation vs. Balanced Transformer? ALL Undertow,128V is pretty high. You must go through a lot of burned out light bulbs.Are you sure the volt meter you are using is giving you a correct reading of the voltage? Is the meter displaying true RMS or peak? I am looking to keep the system ... | |
| How to Attach Spade 10 AWG Solid Copper Mechanical crimping of lugs or sleeves over solid core wire will loosen and fail with any physical movement of the connection. If you use a standard crimping tool I would recommend you solder the lug to the solid #10 wire after crimping. Make sure... | |
| New Electrial Wiring.. I am have an electrician pull (3) circuits into my "media room", a 20amp for my Bryston 28BSST, a 15amp for the rest of the audio set up and a 15amp for the HT set up...Just my 2 cents, use the same wire gauge for all three dedicated circuits. If ... | |
| What power conditioners can convert 230v to 120v? Jea48, not so in my experience05-15-09: DetlofQuote from Link:7. Noise Transformers make noise. This is not only the electrical noise that is created by the nasty current waveform through the windings, diodes and into the filter capacitors, but ac... | |
| What power conditioners can convert 230v to 120v? Vamrhein,The biggest problem you will run into is the power frequency. Australia power is 50 HZ.... Check the US equipment, if it is not 50/60 HZ rated you could find the equipment is not a bargain after all.60 HZ only power transformers will hum ... | |
| How do you shield an isolation transformer? Krell_man, Just my 2 cents you do not have a magnetic field problem with the transformer. I would not install the transformer in a sealed enclosure. That could cause overheating of the transformer and damage the insulation on the windings. | |
| Hickok 6000a limitations 05-09-09: AlmargThe mutual conductance (micromhos) reading is the minimum reading for a "good" tube. A reading less than that indicates a "weak" tube.Al are you sure about that?Quote from manual:(6) FUNCTION and MUT. COND. - The first column lists... | |
| Hickok 6000a limitations I recently came into possession of a Hickok 6000a. It seems to be limited on the types of tubes I can test.Which tubes might that be? | |
| what is a ground lift switch. one of my amps has a switch on the back.it say lift.what does this accomplish.are they worthwhile.do they affect sound quality?Just to expand on Rcprince response. The switch lifts the signal ground from the chassis. It does not lift, disable, the... | |
| SME V arm: dynamic VTF or straight weight I am using an SME V arm and wonder if anyone has compared the sound using the dynamic VTF (i.e. setting the dial to 2.0g) versus setting the dial to 0.0g and simply using the counterweight and an accurate scale to set VTF at 2.0g. Is there a sonic... | |
| Left on DVD Too long ? sad mistake ? should I service & fix it ??? It's hardly used.I would say if it was made in China no.... Don't waste your money.2004, good chance it was made in Japan. If so I would spend $130. | |
| Tuner can be heard through other inputs It comes through the inputs next to tuner input, not the others, strange.Just for the heck of it plug the CDP in the tuner input and the tuner into CDP input.... Check for crosstalk....Did the tuner crosstalk transfer to the CD input?Is there now ... | |
| Left on DVD Too long ? sad mistake ? dvd player-recorder[ a panasonic]My Panasonic DVD Recorder is set to shut off after 6 hours unattended. In the set up menu different choices of shut off time are given.Check your owners manual for trouble shooting.... Are you sure it didn't get za... |
