Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
Shifting gears, I want to ask the Bluetti or other battery/inverter owners whether they tried these units on complete systems including power amps, as well as just for the low power front end components.  My theory is that the AC powerline distort... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
The central and unknown issue is what types of distortions are coming from inverters.  They are substantial, a lot higher than from filtered and grounded power.  Using a Puritan or other filter after the inverter makes sense for a one-two punch.  ... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
ricevs, Here's a perspective on how stupid audio expenditures can be.  Is $2K a trivial amount of money for an audio item that you cannot try before you buy?  NO.  If you buy it after your own listening for a week when you are working with a repu...

I only mentioned that you get the G 2200 so you can learn firsthand what the benefits of your mods (Wonder Caps and possible other tricks you have) would be for the G 2200.  If Oeno is intrigued with your mods, he might be interested in your mods ... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
ricevs, Thanks for links to Oeno's comments.  He has good musical insights and describes the benefits of his Giandel system in a useful way. You will want to get a Giandel for yourself, maybe a smaller 2200 if that's what you can afford.  Go to ... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
ricevs, Please just answer my simple questions.  I know how to interpret your direct answers.  If you tell me that the Giandel is a soft sound like the Yeti, I won't waste even $2K trying it out.  I am perfectly happy with my present system not t... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
ricevs, I still don’t know what you mean when you say the Amperetime/Giandel is "better" than the Yeti and Ecoflow. To me, "better" means more clarity/resolution in the entire freq range, but to euphonically oriented listeners, "better" means war... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
ricevs, Too many variables between the compromised Bluetti AC200P and the Goal Zero Yeti 400 with its woodblocks and PPT.  I thought you were using the Yeti with your front end only, not with power amps.  The most meaningful A/B you can do is bet... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
Actually, live unamplified bass in the appropriately sized room or hall is delightful because of the many harmonic overtones which go up to HF.  Take a French horn which has bass, although not as deep as a tuba.  James Boyk has an essay called "Li... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
ricevs, I agree with much of what you just said.  My main question was about the bass from the Goal Zero.  Comparing to wall AC, Is it looser and fuller, in other words quantitatively greater but qualitatively worse as with old school tube amps? ... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
mijostyn, There are certain audiophile buzzwords that are nebulous concepts with uncertain musical meaning.  "Noise" and "noise floor" are examples.  As a musician and music lover first, and audiophile last, I am interested in tone, resolution, c... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
ricevs, When saying something is better, we should be more specific.  In general, sonic purity and accuracy is associated with more extended HF and tighter bass, among other things.  But the tighter bass is also less full.  If the Goal Zero is mo... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
goofyfoot, Just read the posts by ricevs.  Look at his website, tweakaudio.  Click on the golden inverter button.  He notes his experience with Goal Zero, and his friend's better results with Amperetime batteries and battery charger, Giandel inve... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
ricevs, I don't see the point of adding as much battery power as you like.  For example, your friend uses two Amperetime 200 amp-hr batteries.  At 12V, this is 4800 watt-hr if the batteries are fully charged.  His Giandel inverter is 5000 watt-hr... 
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
Good points. I heard that hybrid car battery manufacturers are looking to replace lithium batteries which can overheat with some sort of new "solid state" technology I don’t know much about. How hot do your friend's dual Amperetime batteries get?
