| Audiophile-grade ground rod? @lowrider57 Yes, I did watch the video. It was pretty interesting to watch. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Cadwelds (Trade Name) used in residential for connecting the ground wire to the ground rod. That welded connection is forever.One thing fo... | |
| Audiophile-grade ground rod? My test engineer suggested sinking a ground rod through the floor right next to the test stand so that the chassis could be grounded. Our facilities mgr was not on board with that plan until we showed him that the building ground was floating at ... | |
| Audiophile-grade ground rod? @jea48 2 rods tied to the panel’s ground buss bar and 6’ apart, correct? @lowrider57 , I assume you are referring to the earth grounding for an electrical service. "The Grounding Electrode System". 6’ apart is the minimum distance required by N... | |
| Audiophile-grade ground rod? I’m wondering what true audiophile rod made from OCC copper would cost and would it provide better sonic,s . I bet it would , It wouldn’t do a darn thing... The earth does not possess some magical mystical power that sucks nasties from audio equi... | |

| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! @thyceFirst we don’t know how the electrician, 25 years ago, installed and wired the so called "dedicated" ground rod. The electrician may have installed and connected the ground rod to the existing GEC, (Grounding Electrode System), of the electr... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! @output555 It doesn’t matter if the breaker is on or off. By the way the T slot on the 20 amp outlet is the neutral contact.IF the electrician only connected the ground rod to the outlet equipment ground terminal you will be measuring for a differ... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! @output555 **IF** the dedicated ground rod is all the electrician used for the ground for the duplex receptacle outlets then there is not a safety equipment ground connection back to the electrical service electrical panel equipment ground. What y... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! @ lowrider57 The Entech Broadband Noise Analyzer is what @output555 used for his test. An earlier post of mine: jea483,683 posts 10-17-2021 2:20pm output555 OP Said: The EMI noise and RFI are being measured straight from the outlet. The s... | |

| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! output555 OP Said: The EMI noise and RFI are being measured straight from the outlet. The system behaves nicely. @ output555 What type of meter did you use to measure it?. | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! whart2,390 posts 10-16-2021 10:48pm @output555 - I hear you, it is a question of spending money on electricians and dealing with what may be system wide (power not just hi-fi) issues.@mikelavigne - not being one for watching long videos (nice pl... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! output555 OP70 posts 10-16-2021 7:17pm To Fuzztone: Dunno, maybe. The electrician installed them when I built my home. They have their own grounding rod. "Their own grounding rod"...@ output555, Any idea how the electrician wired the new ground... | |
| How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power? The reason that many (including me) say that equipment ought to be on one leg, is that in fact I say it must be plugged into the exact same outlet (with outlet strips as needed. This is the only way to minimize ground loops. I am also a believer ... | |
| How To Do You Measure the Quality of Your AC Power? I could never figure out why the load on the two legs has to be balanced, do your electric devices all turn on and off at the same time? There is always going to be an imbalance. Yes, 120V loads may be turning on and off at various intervals but... |
