| Isolation Transformer - Use with Cheater Plug If you plug equipment into a isolation transformer like a Tripp-lite using cheater plugs, do you still get the shock benefit?You bet! You could receive an electrical shock if a ground fault condition were to exist under the right conditions.(The o... | |
| advice re: hum and passive distribution bars. Just to be certain I understand the bare wire should attach between and connect to both the receptacles by just pressure after (tightening back down) onto the bottom metal body work ( supporting straps) that has the holes used to screw duplex into... | |
| Directional fuse and integrated IEC outlet Al,Solid core wire is directional. The late Bob Crump. | |
| advice re: hum and passive distribution bars. One other thing you might try.....I assume the two dedicated circuits and duplex receptacles are somewhat next to one another. A few feet apart at most.You will need a length of bare #12 or #14 copper wire. (Bare solid wire from a piece of Romex w... | |
| Directional fuse and integrated IEC outlet Just guessing, the direction would be from the incoming Hot to the load, the power transformer.... | |
| Would it hurt Elite receiver to run 4 ohm speakers Yes, the Amp could see a load impedance as low as 2 ohms from the nominal 4 ohm speakers..... | |
| Dedicated Lines Bflowers,True dedicated circuits do not share the same cable or raceway.RFI/EMI can transfer from conductor to conductor when sharing the same cable or raceway, (conduit). Also induced voltage from one circuit will transfer from one to the other. ... | |
| Double width studs for isolation? Lissnr,Did you check out the QuietRock 525? One layer of the 5/8" thick 525 is equal to 8 layers of standard 5/8" sheetrock. | |
| Double width studs for isolation? Also, I've never seen it in a store, but on some home reno shows on HGTV, I've seen a new type of sound absorbing drywall. It's a bit expensive. I believe it has a sheet of metal sandwiched between layers of gypsum. It might work through the stiff... | |
| Tube Question - Do they need time to "Break In" >>Thanks everyone for the response...I'm changing tubes for the first time...02-07-09: Chadlesko<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Chadlesko,New tubes do require burn-in time to re... | |
| VPI Scout- motor pops in speakers when turned off Mekong56,A DIY fix would be to wire a snubber circuit across the on/off switch of the VPI.Simple, a resistor in series with a capacitor paralleled across the switch's contact. Snubber. | |
| life expectancy of a cdp? Back in 1988 I bought a Denon DCD-1500 CD Player. Keep it for about 10 years then gave it to my daughter. She still uses it to this day. Trouble free, never serviced. | |
| On one leg or two legs? Amps are self biasing.02-04-09: Maril555Al,Thanks I missed it on the first read. | |
| On one leg or two legs? A bad tube can definitely cause a buzz and a bad electrolytic in the power supply can cause a hum. I would also think a leaky cap in the signal path could cause a hum.You might want to send an email to BAT customer support and ask them.You never a... | |
| On one leg or two legs? I would take the noisier of the two amps back to your friends house and have him connect it to one of his speakers...... Take along the power cord and the speaker cable. Take along your multimeter too.If it does not hum/buzz there, &^#@$%#@, C... |
