| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! Edit to my post above.When I spoke about cleaning the connection of the electrical service’s #6 copper ground wire at the ground rod I should have mentioned with extreme caution. There could be a lethal difference of potential, voltage, between th... | |
| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! nutty1,214 posts 09-03-2017 8:02pmjea48,The main rod was installed when the house was built. It was installed as the main ground for the home. However as you suspected, it is w... | |
| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! nutty1,213 posts 09-03-2017 5:10pmjea48,By re-grounding- I removed the old grounding connectors, (both phone and CATV) at the grounding rod and at the exterior (outside) cable junc... | |
| Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy! nutty1,212 posts 09-03-2017 1:29pmI also recently eliminated a hum by disconnecting my CATV from my system. After re-grounding it, removing the ground and trying power conditioners, I could not eliminate it until I unhooked the coax from the sys... | |
| DC leakage from power amps @crazyeddy,Not sure if it is relevant to the discussion but what are you using for speaker cables? Brand, type? Approx length? Wire gauge?. | |
| DC leakage from power amps I have a vintage Marantz 2252B I used to checked for DC offset at it speaker outputs. Note I have not powered up the receiver for about a month.The 2252B has two sets of speaker outputs, system 1 & system 2. I have a a pair of speakers connect... | |
| DC leakage from power amps I found this link doing a search. http://audiokarma.org/forums/index.php?threads/amplifier-distortion-dc-offset-and-you.5634/ As a semi-poll, I’d like to see those on this board whip out their multimeters and take a look at the DC that is being pr... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal almarg 7,451 posts 09-02-2017 1:14pm I don’t know what the gauge of the leads is, but given that the total length of the two leads is about 8 feet I suspect the lead resistanc... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Correction:In my post dated 09-01-2017 8:33pm The only fuse I have on hand is a 4 amp slow blow fuse. I have an older model Fluke 87 True RMS multimeter and I checked for resistance across the fuse link end caps. With the meter set on ohms auto f... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal @kijanki,Thank you for your informative response. From what I understand the movement of the current in the conductor is quite slow.... Correct?Electric current is a flow of electric charge and not the flow of electrons. (In fluids electric ch... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Al,Thanks again for your response. Thanks, Jim. Regarding...Am I correct in assuming watts is a measurement of electrical energy? Watts is a unit of power, as you of course realize. Power is a quantity that is defined at a specific instant of time... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal Al, (almarg),Thank you for your responses to my questions. ... if only a voltage, (potential), is present, an electromagnet field will exist outside of the conductor/s without there being current... Correct? I’m not 100% certain, but I believe in... | |
| connect 2 different wire gauge to pos and neg speaker terminal @almarg,AC transmission using wire conductors. Al,Could you please explain in more detail the relationship of the electromagnetic wave, that travels in the space outside of the conductor, (At near the speed of light), and the "current" that trav... | |
