Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line?
UPDATE: turns out NAIM only ties the neutral side to the ground in their source components - not at the amp.07-07-10: Williewonka Williewonka, ?? Your use of the word neutral is confusing....From reading your posts I believe you use the word neutr... 
Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line?
Blindjim,A difference of potential, voltage, measured at an electrical outlet measured from the neutral to the equipment grounding conductor can be the result of VD, voltage drop, on the loaded neutral conductor. If the resistance of the equipment... 
Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line?
After a lot of investigation I found that some units have a 1.5-2.0 volt AC signal (sounds like a 60Hz signal i.e. hum) between the neutral side of the interconnect and the earth at the power bar. Williewonka 06-24-10:between the neutral side of t... 
Why is a 1.5-2 volt AC signal on my Neutral line?
I just purchased a NAIM integrated amp and I am experiencing a hum but only from the DVD player.DVD player connected to a TV?TV connected to CATV?Disconnect the incoming CATV coax from the CATV box then check for hum.If no hum..... Buy a Jensen IS... 
speaker ground hum
Raybo76,Assuming the hum you are hearing from the speakers is due to a ground loop you need to start from each amp and build out to the source/s. Start with only one amp connected to the preamp. (Unplug all other ics from the preamp's inputs as we...

Fast/Slow fuse?
I guess using a fast acting fuse instead of a slow blow fuse may burn the fuse faster, but may not affect other electronic components. Am I right?Ihcho If the fuse is for a power amp it may not hold when the amp is first turned on. The initial inr... 
What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean?
QuoteChapter 4 of NFPA 99 (2005 edition) addresses the electrical systems in health care facilities. It requires the electrical installation to be in accordance with NFPA 70, National Electrical Code (4.3.2.1). Following are some of the commonly r... 
What exactly does "Hospital Grade" mean?
No one at a hospital checks the force required to remove a plug.(My boss is going to laugh when he hears that.)08-09-06: joemh22@yahoo.comjoemh22@yahoo.com,Really.....So did your boss laugh?

amplifier power consumption
I may just try one of the cheaper units from APC for now (since i can always return it) and report back here as to how it worked out for me.You may just damage your audio equipment......Before you hook the cheapo UPS battery back up unit to your a... 
amplifier power consumption
To repeat Rog's response it should give the info on the back of the unit. Usually near the AC power inlet...As Al said make sure the UPS puts out a true sine wave. SCRs will give you at best a 12 step wave (12 pulse). Cheapo Battery Back Up UPS a ...
