| Instructions to electrician about dedicated line Bear, the system that i was thinking of would make use of multiple high current isolation transformers all wired in parallel. These would be used for one 120 volt feed into a secondary breaker box. This box would be used strictly for A/V gear and ... | |
| Instructions to electrician about dedicated line I'll have to get back to you later tonight. Running late today : ( Sean> | |
| Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords Audioengr: Sorry to step on your toes, but thanks for proving my point. Your line of questioning to Marty just goes to show that even those that i consider to be "worthy" and design / manufacture PC's think of them as nothing more than "an extensi... | |
| $150 Transport anyone? Sean: Thanks for the feedback and letting us know what you based your comments on. Nobody can argue with first hand experience, especially if it happens to be your own : ) My experience is just the opposite of yours. My brother has also run into t... | |
| $150 Transport anyone? Seandtaylor: I think that if you check with someone that does repairs on a wide variety of cd players, you'd find that the Sony mechanisms are FAR more reliable and adjustable than the Philips mechanisms. I have had far more reliability problems w... | |
| Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords Marty, your "DIY research" has exposed more "truths" than many manufacturers / engineers will ever come to realize in a lifetime. The reason for this is that you can't find the "hands-on" results that you experienced first hand in a text book sitt... | |
| $150 Transport anyone? When you figure out your return policy and can post a picture of the unit ( preferably front, back and internals ), let us know. You should also think about accepted forms of payment and how you would go about issuing refunds should such an occura... | |
| Sheilded/Unsheilded Power Cords A shielded cord will always perform in superior fashion to an unshielded cord of otherwise identical design. If it does not, some simple yet almost always overlooked design criteria were not taken into account during the construction of said cord.... | |
| Are Nordost really the Rolls Royce of cables? Take a look at this ad. I don't think that this person planned on buying a "Rolls Royce" and then selling it at a 45% loss some 40 days later. System incompatability or not, that is a quick and hard lesson to learn. Sean> | |
| Instructions to electrician about dedicated line Bear: While i can understand your thoughts about using one BIG isolation transformer to feed the A/V breaker box for sake of simplicity, what are your thoughts on using multiple smaller ( 15 - 20 amps each ) yet identical transformers wired in par... | |
| Instructions to electrician about dedicated line Macdonj, thanks for clarifying why i stated what i did. In that respect, you were right on the money. However, i would like to add that i don't personally feel that 10 gauge is sufficient for 30 amp service. Regardless of what most "professionals"... | |
| Review: Purist Audio Design Proteus Interconnect George, Kelly had sent me some balanced versions of Tara's "The One" with active shielding to throw on my burner for him. As far as i know, that is what he is still using but i have not spoken to him in ages. I hope that he does not mind me sharin... | |
| Instructions to electrician about dedicated line If you are starting from scratch, install a 100 amp sub-panel off of the main breaker box. You can then run as many 15 or 20 amp circuits as is necessary. I'd use 10 gauge for all the runs regardless of the amperage rating of the breaker. If possi... | |
| Component obsolescence My experience is that many older designs can easily hang with current designs IF the "technology" of newer passive parts ( resistors, capacitors, diodes, wiring ) is brought up to date. Most of the "improvements" in audio products have not come ab... | |
| Are Nordost really the Rolls Royce of cables? Asa: Your post summed up my thoughts and experiences with Nordost to a "t". Thank you for putting my thoughts / feelings into print. Tubegroover: Drop me an email when you get a chance. Audioengr: Thanks for posting the comments from Stereophile. ... |
