| Confusion on amplifier impedance Well I opened up the amp and each XLR has an independent plug going to the main board. The connections where the plug connects are labeled, ground, positive, negative. i measured resistance to ground on pin 1 and got 39 ohms. To ground on pins 2 a... | |
| Fuses fuses fuses Has the purpose of a fuse been lost ? How it is designed to work ? By design there is no directionality in a fuse. it is simply designed to open in an overcurrent situation. If it was directional in relation to the current passing through it would... | |
| Slight hum in my amp. Is this normal? I had the same problem with an Ayre V3 amp. I first built a DC blocker and that did not help so i removed the transformers that were humming and took them to a motor shop. They were dipped in that special winding varnish and when i reinstalled the... | |
| Furutech AC Receptacles An outlet is just a connection. A means of coupling a device to your home electric grid. It is a plastic housing with copper slip grips that squeeze the prongs from the dead front plug you push in it. That is it. The better quality ones such as "h... | |
| Furutech AC Receptacles But it is like religion. You accept technical facts for your cell phone, computer and many other things. When it comes to audio i very often hear " there is no technical proof but I hear a difference". Just like religion | |
| Furutech AC Receptacles The truth is that this is like a discussion about religion. The faithfull will remain faithfull regardless and the opposing sides will never agree but there can be mutual respect. In the end most of us are in it for the music and the enjoyment it... | |
| Time for dedicated outlets! Why eould you not use the bare wire for ground ? That is its intended purpose. In romex each circuit wire has insulation and the ground is bare and all of it is in a protective sleave | |
| Time for dedicated outlets! Also you would not connect to a double pole breaker, that is for 240 vac here in the US . They would connect to single pole breakers as they are 120 vac. | |
| Time for dedicated outlets! Jea48, The NEC does not clearly define that and it is left as a design perrogative. It is understood that a dedicated circuit is one where only one appliance will use that circuit. A neutral can be shared but only one appliance per breaker. Some e... | |
| Furutech AC Receptacles I have read almost all the claims on the Furutech website. I did not finnish as i almost broke a rib laughing. " a great sound stage , musical highs, tight controlled bass, power and dynamics to spare", FROM AN OUTLET !!! I must apologize its your... | |
| Time for dedicated outlets! Baddoge, if u have four breakers u have four circuits and u did not get that with 10/3 wire. 10/3 wire has 2 hots a neutral and a ground and is good only for 2 circuits. You must have run more wire | |
| Time for dedicated outlets! Cleeds, that is true. If the run is 50 feet or more you should use # 10. If 100 ft go to # 8. | |
| Furutech AC Receptacles I have friends in the audio biz and none use special outlets or power cords. We use good outlets such as Hubbel but none of this is in your audio circuit. A filter is the only thing that made any difference at all. | |
| Furutech AC Receptacles All amps speakers etc have different sound. What breaks in is your ears that are going from one to the other. An engineer designs a unit to specific specs, are you saying that these specs change because it has been on for 100 hours ? | |
| Time for dedicated outlets! Jea48, the bare wire is the ground. It is connected to the ground bar in the panel and at the outlet it is connected to the box and outlet ground screw |
