Romy says "Well, with use of the dimmers in my house (I can use them ONLY in PS3 line, which is the same as PS1 phase split) the sound was changing BUT I am not convinced that with all dimmers heavily engaged the PS1/ PS3 line sounded inferior then PS2 (where there is no dimmers)."

You say that the dimmers are on PS3 line only. However, when you turned dimmers on, the PS1 And PS3 lines had "changed" sound that you are "not convinced" is inferior to PS2. First, how would the dimmers affect PS1 since it branches before the house line directly to the PP3000? (sorry I'm not an electrician). Second, are you saying that both PS1 and PS3 were "changed" identically or in highly similar fashion compared to PS2 (ie PS1 and PS3 now sound the same albeit changed from what they sound like without dimmers on) OR do you mean that PS1 and PS3 both had "changes" to the sound but in distinguishable ways between them? Third, I assume you realize that the term "not convinced" implies a significant possibility that you will be convinced. Therefore, what were the nature of the changes that left you "not convinced" that Ps1 and PS# sounded worse than PS2 when the dimmers were on? Thanks for all your effort in examining these issues BTW.
