| Does an isolation transformer improve a power cable? Yes, I have a dedicated 240 volt line, made from 10 AWG Romex and a 30 amp breaker. 01-01-15: JafreemanThe 30 amp breaker does nothing more for the available power the ISO xfmr can draw from the main electrical panel than the correct size 20 amp b... | |
| Does an isolation transformer improve a power cable? Audiolabyrinth,Sure, no problem.Jim | |
| Does an isolation transformer improve a power cable? All you need is a 240V outlet next to your gear--simple, clean, direct with no worries about phase.12-29-14: Jafreeman Jafreeman,I agree I would feed a 4KVA ISO transformer with 240V as well. Better for isolation of the ISO transformer as well as... | |

| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Jea48 - interesting quote. I thought it was interesting that they found a way to measure what they were hearing. I would guess that they used that measurement for future designs. What they heard could be measured 12-26-14: MceljoYa, "they" found ... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Mceljo,Which came first, the chicken or the egg?Quote from John Curl Interview.Page 15/18 and 16/18."I was working with Noel Lee and a companycalled Symmetry. We designed this crossover and I specified these onemicrofarad Mylar caps. Noel kept say... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Geoffkait,You really need to brush up on your reading and comprehension skills of what you have read.. | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction I want to clarify something. I honestly believe that some people hear a difference in the directionality of cables. I just do not feel there is a scientific explanation for this. This a belief thing. I find that the only evidence that has been sub... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Here is the Link for the Sterophile/transport Delight article I quoted earlier..For some strange reason when I paste the link between the [url ]....[/url] brackets the web site is not displayed. | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Sorry guys about the bad link in my last post above.Try this one.Charles Hansen. | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Many people believe that we should be able to determine that cables are not directional if they present the same measurement from both sides hence two cables with the same measurements should sound identical. I don't believe this to be true. I ser... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction The revelation that digital interconnects and their direction can introduce large differences in measured jitter was quite a shock. The differences heard between digital interconnects—and in their directionality—have now been substantiated by meas... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Jea48, directionality of a metal conductor is produced by the orientation of the crystal structure as it is pulled through the final die. As least that's what I think. The directionality is independent of the velocity of the signal, I.e., the audi... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction If the signal is altered from one end of the cable to the other it is absolutely able to measured in a scope. That is what scopes excel at, measuring signals.So we can measure a bunch of different frequencies and see what happens to the signal, fl... | |
| Directional speaker cables - switching direction Kijanki,Thank you for responding to my question.12-18-14: KijankiJea48, I don't know if conductor can be directional but copper oxides are semiconductors. Their orientation might be related to grain orientation - a question for metallurgist.AFAIK ... |
