| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. Did you have the wiring in your house reviewed by an electrician after the lightening strike? Did the left channel get repaired as well? It is also possible the cabinet has developed a leak or a joint has come loose. Keep looking, you will find... | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. I don't want to get into a situation where I am reviewing equipment but I will try to answer all your questions. Here is the PS Audio device: https://www.psaudio.com/dectet-power-center/ There are no specifications given so I have no idea how mu... | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. BTW, I am using three extension cords on the right channel 200W Conrad Johnson amp. It is really a kludge setup but far better than using that other outlet. If I use the wall receptacle next to it I get a lot hum for reasons I have yet to determ... | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. I'll take a look at the Equitech, Furman, and PS Audio. About that 100 foot power cord, just use a good thick one, say a 3 wire, 12 AWG, and see how it works. | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. @elizabeth - You are just as crazy as I am. Awesome! | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. @mrmb, @soix - Here are some ideas for noise suppression. There are a number of quality noise suppression devices out there. Furman is a good brand, so is PS Audio and Tripplite, but do check out the specs. Here are the specs for a Furman M-8X2... | |
| Lowering House Grounding Impedance I have. I added a clean ground to my system, rather than use the house ground. I was amazed at how clean FM reception became. I had two FM tuners, one analog and the other digital but both improved significantly. Not only was it cleaner, the... | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. Hey, that says a lot for the car! What kind of car was it?Robert | |
| Prioritization of Power Cords In general, you want your quietest power on your sources and then on the amplifiers with the most voltage gain. As gain drops, it becomes less sensitive to power line noise, so power amps are less of a concern by comparison. This is a general ca... | |
| Streamer Advice: Bluesound Node 2 vs Aries Mini vs Oppo I own BlueSound equipment. You do need a hardwire connection to the web for the Vault2 or 2i. The Node will work on wireless and communicate to the Vault2 via wireless, but how well both work is dependent on the internet modem you have. I had... | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. I am glad the posting is useful. One thing about lightening, if it hits close enough, it won't matter if the system is plugged in or not, the EMF pulse will most likely destroy all the solid state junctions. Vacuum tube equipment in this case ... | |
| No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need Folks, everyone is talking resistance but there are two other factors that come into play. One is the inductance and capacitance of the cable, the other is the skin effect. For audio work, skin effect becomes a non issue when the wire is 16 g ... | |
| Wyred4Sound DAC-2v2 upgrade I sprung for the DAC 2 to DAC 2v2se with the femto clock upgrade a few weeks ago and the unit has been back in the system for about a week now. This isn't the upgrade you asked about, although if you can afford it, I would recommend you go for it... | |
| Oh man, I broke my class D amp. Make fun of me. Then help. Todd, it can't be anyway worse than me when I adjusted the bias on a Class AB amp and shorted the heatsink to ground because I was using a non insulated, very long screwdriver - the heatsink was at 50Vdc, not ground like I thought. That was an e... | |
| Transformers humimg........again You can put in a large isolation transformer and create your own neutral. It is called a "separately derived system" in the NEC handbook. I designed a 50 KVA split phase line system, 120V-0V-120V, from 3 phase 208VAC using two 25KVA isolation tr... |
