HELP I think I have an electrical issue??
Up here, we don't require the gas line to be bonded unless it's underground. In the States, NEC (250) and Fuel Gas regs are a little confusing and ridiculous, but it certainly doesn't hurt to do so. The gas line can't be used AS the ground. Neithe...

First, ensure the pilot assembly and ignition module are grounded. The pilot can be grounded by using a double insulated or bare, solid copper wire from a mounting screw directly to the "GND" terminal on the module, if so equipped, otherwise to ch... 
Dedicated Lines - Sub panel or no?
Hevac1,Sorry for obsessing.Here's the question: You have 208V, which is used in condos and multi-tenant buildings and typically just two legs of 3 phase, which is 60 degrees out of phase as opposed to 90 degrees for 240. Could that be the source o...

A question of bass... Several actually.
"Good, necessary, appropriate" are relative terms. I'm sure the person with Genesis 200's or Dunlavy SC-V's has a different perspective than another with little monitors.

Just an idea, but how about a motor start capacitor (over 70 mfd) or two and a relay on the secondary side to shut it/them off (for lack of a centrifical switch).I've also heard of somebody using motor caps in series to block DC offset, which can ...

Transformers are like motors in that they can take 3 times the current at start-up. Maybe oversize the breaker and use a 3 phase starter with overloads. I've been installing Telemanique's recently because of the price and simplicity. BTW, found th...

For more fun, I got lower amp draw, compared to unloaded, on the primary side when I had just a little secondary draw.

Hevac1,Similar to mine, except I have a 5KVA 480/240-240/120. Wired 240V to 480V input and X1, X4 is +/- 60V with X2/X3 connected ("optionally" to neutral).Just tested with analog clamp-on and I got 3.5A (average)per 240V leg and 7.5A on the outle...

Anyone Know Anything On McIntosh XRT25 Speakers
Personally, I would save my pennies for the XRT30. A true line array versus a tweeter array. Have you looked at Newform Research? Similar look but uses a planar ribbon.

Hevac1: Did the xformer make a lot of noise and heat?When I moved, I had mine hooked up to 120V just as I had before but it made noise and heat. It was getting saturated. Rewired for 240V and it's dead quiet and only slightly warm, like before the...

No clue about electrical requirements in Singapore but check this out. Surge protection, regulation, isolation and breakers included.http://cgi.ebay.com/Topaz-7-5-kVA-Power-Conditioner-Isolation-Transformer_W0QQitemZ330314111193QQcmdZViewItemQQptZ... 
Copper Sleeve over IEC
A non-ferrite ring? 
Is my Placette linestage holding back my Krell AMP
It's not a problem and that does seem like a good deal. The specs seem nearly ideal for a passive but there's no guarantee. Literally, don't know about the Transparent cables since they don't publish specs and the "mystery box" but, since the DAC ...
