| APS Pure Power A/C Regenerators @bifwynne The reason most companies don't provide EMI filtering is cost plus the fact so many engineers and managers just don't get the fact it isn't "just 60 Hz" coming out of the wall. If it was, there would be no need for any filtering or iso... | |
| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? So, I installed the Pyle PS-1000 unit and have been playing around with it for a while now. The very low level hum that was evident from APC unit is gone and with it there was a noticeable sound quality improvement. I'm not saying this Pyle un... | |
| Backup Generator transfer switch I have been following M. Fremer's problem in Stereophile closely as well. As I mentioned before in other posts, I am Director of Engineering at a green energy company and we bought that exact same transfer switch to reverse engineer. As you mi... | |
| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? @jafreeman I agree, when you have a ton of money invested in a system, why skimp on dedicated 20A line? In general, it isn't too expensive to have an electrician install one and usually it's free to get a quote. @clearthinker Those torridal tra... | |
| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? The two Pyle PS1000 units arrived today. The PS stands for Power Sequencer and it will sequence 8 outlets Overall, it is a clean build and well worth the $125 price for each. The sequencer can be daisy chained so up to 100 outlets can be sequ... | |
| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? @mitch2 @audioguy85 Thanks for the info, it was very helpful. The two units from Amazon arrive today - these are the two I mentioned before . For $250, I am not expecting much in the filtering but the sequencing will be much appreciated. I ... | |
| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? @cakyol Actually, all of the equipment is plugged into one outlet. I agree, everything should run from one potential. A while back I had one amp plugged into an outlet 6 feet away but it was wired to the opposite side of the distribution panel... | |
| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? @mitch2 The filter should protect equally well in both directions if it was designed to be symmetrical. But even if it was not, it should give you some filter action. | |
| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? @vegasears Thanks for that, I had to chuckle: yep, I hear you. If your are going to do it, why not overkill it and never but never have to do it again! Gotta love that philosophy!@mitch2 The only reason for having separate digital and analog ... | |
| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? I just found this device on Amazon, it has 8 outlets and can be interconnected for more outlets. It is cheap enough, only $125. I am not expecting much in the filtering section, as they don't even spec the number of surge joules it can handle or... | |
| Just how many outlets do you need for your stereo? You are right, I did word it in a most ambiguous fashion. My bad. My real intent was to find out the number of outlets that other folks are using and try to figure out what I would need in the future for more expansion. My APC has 16 outlets ... | |
| When A Lightening Strike Blows Your Power Company’s Transformer Off Its Utility Pole ……… It is really hard to say how much a surge protector system will protect your home. They help immensely, to be sure, but keep in mind the average lightening bolt has the equivalent energy to lift the RMS Titanic six miles off the ocean floor and... | |
| The longest you have owned any gear? Spatial Coherence Preamplifier is definitely the oldest thing I own - a 1977 purchase. Next up is a bunch of Amber 70 power amplifiers. About the same time frame I purchased a pair of Shahinian Diapason speakers with four subwoofers. Pretty muc... | |
| Who else is using old cables/interconnects, and is happy? Interconnects - I am still using my Blue Jeans cables I bought 15 years ago, they are the ones I use the most often since I have so many of them. I also have a pair of Peterson Silver and two pair of Peterson Black cables - the original ones from... | |
| My list of tweaks and the verdict @aj523 Thanks for the work and the tweak reporting. I am sure it was a lot of work and I appreciate the effort. Thanks for sharing. |
