| Isolated Ground causes ground hum. @JEA48 As far as I know, the NEC does not specificity a maximum number of ground rods, so long as they are all bonded together. That's what I am referring to. Best,E | |
| B&W 802D tweeter replacement As is, you'll have a better chance selling them. As soon as you mod them the value will drop. Alternatively of course is looking on EBay for speakers with the same tweeter. Best,E | |
| Isolated Ground causes ground hum. OK, so yes, you just created your own ground loop. :) What you can do: Add more ground rods. Bond them to house ground rod farmRun 1 ground wire directly to the ground rods, and use that for your outlets. Then run phono grounds like normal, from ... | |
| Isolated Ground causes ground hum. @dangcaonguyen By law, you MUST bond them to the house ground. You can't just create a new ground field, and run a copper wire to your outlets and call it ground. Best,E | |
| A problem with AC Power you may not have considered. If you are going to combine shunt with series, the usual way I recommend is with a surge protector in the electrical panel, and series closer to the components. The problem shunt mode filters have (among others) is that the very high currents + so... | |

| SQ : Anthem receiver vs. processor Thanks @alkaloid! I think I'm going to go purchase the AVM60 this weekend. Best,E | |
| Filter capacitor issue oh man, just please stop.Let a qualified tech look at it or you'll do even more damage. Really.Best,E | |
| one short and one long speaker cable work? If they're worth anything, no, keep the cable length the same.But in terms of electrical theory, it's hard to imagine a 14 ga or larger speaker cable sounding very different at 6 or 2 meters. | |
| Am I missing something here? For speakers, listen to Monitor Audio as one brand I am super entranced with. | |
| Am I missing something here? Those are some interesting pieces! :) The wide baffle speakers of Snell are among my favorites, and this seems of similar pedigree. I have to agree with your overall take, a lot of really thin and gutless is sold as "refined." But sometime soon I ... | |
| Question about in home AV DIY calibration. I think it's a very good option. The one issue I have run into isn't the quality of the DVD/Blu Ray but some options on TV's are not normally available. Let's face it, with most TV's you are making a judgement call no matter what. You may want to ... |
