Resolving Hum with Battery Back-up (EcoFlow) vs Power Conditioners: success vs failure
mark200mph 60 posts 04-07-2024 at 05:17am Carlsbad2 is it possible to bypass the ground at the breaker box and run a big earthen spike into the earth and wrap copper wire around much like a lightning rod then run it to you grou... 
Resolving Hum with Battery Back-up (EcoFlow) vs Power Conditioners: success vs failure
@uberk All is well until it’s not. Food for thought. All those appliances found in your home have micro processors in them. Your air conditioning equipment as well as the heating equipment has micro processors. The AFCI, GFCI, combination GFCI/...

jea48 said: Increase the wire gauge be it solid or stranded increases the inductance in the circuit. Still can’t believe I said that... No excuse. .

kijanki Said: What I said before about 4 wires having the same inductance as equivalent 1 wire would be true if 4 wires fit in the diameter of solid 1 wire - not possible because of added insulation. With larger overall diameter of multiple insu...

@kijanki Said: I believe that he is simply wrong. Thicker wire has lower inductance. I agree... I can’t help thinking what else he was wrong on. @kijanki, I greatly appreciate you chiming in. Jim

@rfprice $50.00 is not that bad of a price. It’s not like it’s a mass produced item. Sure beats paying $80.00. .

@kijanki, Great post as usual. . kijanki Said: Just one observation. Thicker wire has lower inductance. @kijanki Da,... right you are. I don’t know what I was thinking. I guess my brain turned off when Michael from Essential Sound Product...

A few things the cable designer said that caught my attention. Size of the conductor wire gauge matters. Well ya... How you get there without changing the phase relationship between the voltage and the current. Increase the wire gauge be it soli... 
The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in"
classicrockfan If the wire is live there will be an electric field around it. That’s all that is needed, plus being held by the person checking for AC voltage. The person, being the ground completing a capacitive circuit. How does a Volt Stick w...

@fastfreight Cut the 1-1/2" PVC coupling. (You’ll make three cuts.) (One coupling makes two cups.) First I cut the length of the coupling to 1-1/8". (Use a piece of 1-1/2" PVC pipe to hold the coupling against the fence of the miter saw. (Aroun...

I guess your pics got removed. I am building a few! Thanks! @fastfreight If you are referring to the pictures I posted maybe the manufacturer asked Admin to take them down. I did copy their plate. ??? If you are going to build some like the ... 
Power Cable Audioquest Dragon vs Isotek EVO3 Ascension
You need to do some research on circuit breakers, what you said is incorrect. A 15 amp breaker will trip at 80% of it’s 15 amp rating which is 12 amps, but that’s continuous, breakers are time sensitive. A lot more than 15 amps for short duration...

@rfprice I think , as for me personally, I would rather look at 10, 11, or 12 hockey pucks stacked on top of one another pushed against a wall, or slightly out from the wall, than see an anchor above the outlet with a Zip tie hanging from it. Th...

@rfprice I tried to post a current Audiogon ad but was blocked. ??? Do a search for, SONORE Outlet Cover , on Audiogon’s main page. The price may be worth the trouble of your time trying something else to support your cable(s).
