[quote user="manisandher"] Also, when I switch from AC to battery, the output voltage (as measured by a true RMS voltmeter) INCREASES by between 3-4V. Now, I am NOT suggesting that this increase in voltage is causing the difference in SQ. However...

As I said before, in many if not all instances the provisions for “bad electricity” are deeply entrenched into the design of our playbacks. A few days back I took advantages of some new possibilities that PP2000 offered and made some changes in playb...

Not saying the "pieces effect" "matters", but is it possible that this stems from using 1-phase power instead of the designed-for 3-phase?  After all, the 1-phase is not merely "less power", but it also changes the way the power is delivered.  Too ba...
