Have been intently watching this discussion while on vacation. Returned last night and turned on system and one of my three units was given off a very low intensity buzz into the speakers. Detached the power cord and it went away and on replacing th...

The topic is absolutely idiotic but it is what it is. For the last week I was trying alternative power cords for my PP3000. Not that I was looking for some kind of different sound but I was trying a heavy shielded power cord with 30A power receptacle...

On initial installation of my borrowed 1050 i used power cords i have as extras. Did so cause i was still using my BPT for everything but my amps. I had a hum and high pitch buzz from my speakers. Replacing the power cord feeding my amps was the cure...

Power cords is the
most ridicules subject that I have seen in audio and they define all rules,
would it be stupid rules or sensible rules. There is absolutely no difference
in power cords construction, built quality, price, material use, insolatio...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Make sure the power switch is off, and connect the power cord.[/quote] Unless you are a republican. If you are then you need to change voltage with power switch on and power cord attached.

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]I got my last PP2000, after the repair was done. My second new unit works since I got it repaired; it runs the whole playback, sounding very well and my attempts to add a second PP2000 led, as I described to worsening o...

Thank you Clark for your comment.Unfortunately, I think that you missed the point. It is possible that a power cord can change things. The description „better“ is a moving target however. Let us take for example a „full range“ driver in a backloaded ...

The system starts as a commercial multi voltage smps unit, 48 volt output from Meanwell.I place this in a box because I have to equip the unit with a multiple pole filter card.The output is fixed, 300 watts and connected to a dc filter board equi...

EL, I suppose your cryptic post is about not knowing the results with kids. But if it's about knowing how power cord configurations affect the sound of hi-fi/Music, please share. (If kids, no need to share in this thread, unless you have a nice kid...

CORRECT AC POLARITY

This is very ugly topic as I have been looking a solution for years and I do not have a consensus with myself regarding this. I have 21 AC power consumers in my playback. Well, the 21 that require good power, another 8 might be plugged to the utility...

[quote user="Antonio J."]So I thought my tuner weren't properly adjusted. It has not been serviced nor recently aligned, I have no proficient technicians around who I depend to let them put their hands into the tuner. The damn thing always ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Hm, this is interesting. I my case nether neither CEC nor Bidat affect other of the tuners. Lavrys do but not Bidat. Try to put ferrite on ALL Sansui inputs: antenna, power cord, output cables. I have 3 bids on each leg of ...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]However, over the years I have seen
that the low voltage adapter get weaker and impact the remote control functionality.
Also, the type of the low voltage adapter I used did have very profound impact
to sound, which abso...

Do we simply not want a non-changing target? As regeneration does not seem to be „the“ solution (especially if the AC cord behind the regenerator changes bass), what does better AC even mean?Perhaps the designers of great equipment need to rethink po...

Doug, it is a lot of tuner went over your hand. I wonder what drove you to do so. Was any specific quality of sound that you were looking and the tuner that you own did not serve you?

I need to admit that as time goes by I feel less need for Bypass Mode. Not only because it is uncomfortable to use but also because I feel that it implemented kind of with wrong logic in PP. The unit in Bypass Mode does fine bypass but it lives play...

Speaking of Magic Power Cords, here's yet another option for those who believe that if a magic solution to power problems exists, then it will be expensive. Sure, it is possible to pay considerably more for a power cord with far less to say about it...

Yeah, the power cord was nothing special. The Shunyata cord PLUS the Hyrdra conditioner represent the single best upgrades to my system aside from John's mods. I was skeptical about power cords and conditioners, but I'm a bit of a fanatic a...

Sneaking up on the AC cord for the K&K, I recently added a close approximation of the power cords I made for the ML2s. These cords use 3X 12 ga. copper magnet wires tightly sleeved with poly tubing and braided, with Onyx pure copper pl...

Hato,Its very simple, and can be done without opening the amps.If you receive the manuals with the amps, you will find that they include clear instructions for voltage selection.If not, do as follows:There is a voltage selector built into the IEC soc...

I figured out that my site turned out to be a quite good source for “PurePower’s Survival Guide”. It would be nice to abstract the PurePower into a separate subject but it is too much intervened with the thread of “Bad Electricity” that I decided to ...

CJ Yes I have assessed AC polarity in my system.Romy says "I took today my large
3kW isolation transformer and place it between my dedicated line and
PP3000. I lost my lower bass, simple as that. "Speaking of isolation transformers, I have not h...

[quote user="manisandher"] Well I can pretty much replicate the sound I was getting last year - simply have the DAC and power amps plugged into the PP and the PC plugged into the wall socket. The sound becomes brighter, thinner and more edgy. This i...

So I am currently working towards this concept for my Macondo (see below) and I have just the Upperbass horns left to turn and prep. I am thinking about how to best integrate the DSET with Macondo and have come up with something like this… Perha...
