Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
bflowers,IF the dedicated branch circuit wiring for the power amp is braided (hot, neutral, an IG ground conductors braided) together that might be the problem. Think of it as an 8ft shielded power cord. ( 3 braided conductors inside a steel outer...

bflowers said:System incorporates isolated grounds and IG outlets.Is the branch circuit wiring installed in metal conduit? Steel or aluminum?IF yes, does each dedicated branch circuit have its’ own dedicated conduit? A true dedicated branch circui... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
georgelofi said: Yes differences in dielectric, the way the different insulated conductors are wound/twisted together.But not in the direction of the copper wire itself, as was stated!!George what proof do you have of your claim the wire cannot be... 
Interconnects, some have directional indicators, why?
The audio signal energy travels in one direction in the form of an electromagnetic wave from the source to the load. If you accept this theory wire directionality can be better understood. It also explains how the type of dielectric used in ICs an...

Audio with sound off
I have a vintage Marantz 6300 TT I was having problems with maintaining a constant speed. The audio forums are full of others having the same problem. I took the TT to a local Dealer that has a great tech. He said the problem was a dirty Pot. I sa... 
Audio with sound off
That was the first thing I tried. The volume control is very clean no resistance turning, glides so easyYou can't feel if it's dirty just by rotating it. Pull the top cover and look to see if you can see the dual gang volume control pots. If not y... 
Audio with sound off
Sounds like a dirty volume control potentiometer. With the preamp turned off.You might try rotating it fairly fast back and forth several times through its' entire travel.If that doesn't help you will have to clean it with a good contact cleaner. ... 
Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
LOL, believe it or not tests have been done using non breakable nylon duplex cover plates. I for one tried the nylon plate after Albert Porter posted he was using the P&S plates. Of course Albert’s post was back around 2005. I think the import...

Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
One option we are looking at is to pull out the metal boxes, put in a high quality plastic or fiberglass box and elimintate any ground to the box. I don’t think the electrician will find a plastic or fiber receptacle outlet rough-in box big enough... 
New dedicated line & outlets sound worse, not better- HELP!
Our Hubbell Outlets are not GFCI - we do have a fast acting Circuit Breaker in place - works well. At the receptacle/s is there a difference of potential, voltage, from either Hot contact to the "U" shaped safety equipment ground contact of 60Vac?... 
Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
Main issue is I do not want to create an electric hazard (pretty sure my electrician is very capable) and I do not want to create a bunch of ground loop issues!From the description of the wiring materials and wiring methods used in your posts ever... 
New dedicated line & outlets sound worse, not better- HELP!
@ corepowertech, I don't see anything on your Web Site that says the output of your 60/120Vac balanced power system equipment is GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected.  Question, is it GFCI protected?Is your power equipment Listed, saf... 
Grounding Metal Outlet Boxes and Isolated Ground Receptacles
Yes, both ground wires from the outlet/metal box are attached to the ground bar in the sub panel.Glad to hear that. That’s the way it should be done. You would be surprised how many posted messages I have read over the years on audio forums where ...
