Post Subject: Cooler days, "better" system, especially weekends; still waitingPosted by Paul S on: 9/15/2007
What a relief! No matter how many times it happens, at some point I always wind up adjusting my system to compensate for bad electricity! I know I keep saying it, and it is embarassing, but it's still true! I live near a school now and the difference when school in not in session is big, especially on hot days when the AC is on in every room there.
I said up the thread that bad power can now mimic just about every other problem my system has ever developed in its present iteration. There were plenty of those problems over the last few weeks. Yet here I am this mornig listening to Cosi Fan Tutti, happy as a clam, even with the mono version. And I realized the THE POWER IS GOOD AGAIN!
This post is to remind myself that my system is as good as it has ever sounded, not as bad.
I still wish someone would come up with a cheap solution, at least for the front end, particularly the analog, although I still dream of a "whole-system" solution.
The closest I got was a 220V unit, but it obviously homogenized the sound ("nice" but not correct). It's been a long time since I so much as tried a "conditioner", and I guess that's because I just don't believe these guys anymore.
Anyway, I am hoping to have at least mornings and evenings on weekends from here through the next three seasons.
I hope others are faring as well.
Best regards,
