| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To j-wall: Yeah, Shunyata seems to get universal love. I've decided the Hydra is older tech, going back 20 years, so I'm looking for something newer used.I like PS Audio and Paul, a lot. There seem to fans of their regenerators and detractors. The... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To thyce: I hear you. Doubtful the house is in violation as it was carefully inspected prior to completion. Nonetheless, I will check things to see what’s connected to what. From what you’re recommending, it sounds like a ground rod fix is relativ... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To Tim_p: Thanks, I’ve seen it. Glad he had some nice folks to solve his problem for free. I’m not going there. | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To pennfootball71: Thanks, but you’ve tripled my budget with the PC recommendations. Diminishing returns, and all that. Plus, while you don’t seem to be a fan of the "cheap" PCs, there are many who rave about the ones I’ve listed. As I’ve said, my... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To dvddesigner: Thanks for the Shunyata info. It appears the Hydra 8 is long discontinued, with most used models 10-20 years old, yet still costing over $1k. I can't see spending that kind of money for something that old, with older tech. The newe... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! @bemused: I looked at their products, and, honestly, it looks like mystic black magic stuff with faux-science sounding terms being thrown around. What makes them special for you? What have you compared them to? | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To jea48: Thanks for clarifying. I've ordered a multimeter and will let you know the results. | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To bslon: Thanks. There are a couple used ones I've found for around $1k, so I may bite the bullet with one of them. There was a stellar deal on a Puritan PSM-156 this morning on Audiogon but it was sold within minutes. Shucks. | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To jea48: That's great advice. Just to be clear when testing with the multimeter, do I measure the ground voltage with the circuit breaker on or off? I don't want to get fried making a bad contact. Also, assuming he did install the grounding rod i... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To rudyb: Definitely an issue with the cheap copper in rubber tubes. No radio station in my components, it resides deep inside my walls. As I've mentioned, a cheap-o PC cures my woes. Now, I'm just looking for a really good one, that's not so chea... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To lowrider57: That makes sense. Although @ $150/hr. I'd spend well over the cost of a PC for someone to test and replace the dedicated lines. For under $230, a Tripplite IT cleans almost 100% of the noise and RFI. A basic bandaid perhaps, but eff... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To mglik: Do you think their more affordable Hydra models are better than the competition? | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To jea48: The Entech Broadband Noise Analyzer. | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To dvddesigner: I've owned assorted PS Audio gear over the years, and have a lot of respect for Paul McGown. The Dectet strikes me as no-nonsense, albeit skewed to the bare minimum in power conditioning. Can you tell me the differences between the... | |
| Yet Another Post About Power Conditioners! To jea48: You're asking great questions. Unfortunately, I can't answer a single one. My home was custom built with a dedicated music room 25 years ago. The electrician was very knowledgeable and seemed to understand what went into dedicated AC lin... |
