Yeah who knows; hospitals are great places to pick up strange stuff. And It's amazing all the hazardous materials our older buildings were made from, like lead and asbestos, not to mention what else may be up in attics: Mold, other spores, feces from rodents and birds, and some have disturbed some old bat dung and got some really nasty complications. Better safe than sorry as they say! I need to get a better respirator on that note, those dust masks only block about 95%.
A not sarcastic question for the power conditioner/upgraded power cord folks
And I realize that there are those that don’t believe in either
Assuming you use a power conditioner and after market power cords, do you feel that the power cord from the power conditioner to the wall might be a limiting or even a negating factor to the performance of the after market power cords that run from the power conditioner to the gear?
The reason I ask is that I was about to embark upon some more experimentation with different power cords and where I plugged them into when I discovered that the aftermarket cords I had purchased before and some recent arrivals are actually a meter shorter than the ones that came with the gear. This doesn’t matter for the amp due to its location, but when I did my last power cord upgrade I ran my CDP and pre into a conditioner so the length for those didn’t matter either, but as I was doing the musical chairs with power cords thing today, I also was intending to run the CDP and pre straight into the wall on separate dedicated circuits, but I found out that I am a tad short on those two.
Which doesn’t preclude me from moving my dedicated circuit outlets up a couple of feet, and I suppose I probably will, but I was curious as to the opinions about the limitations of a power conditioners power cord.

That paper from The Absolute Sound is unusual. It mixes thoughtful, solid advice and downright dangerous garbage no one should attempt unless they aspire to become poster boys for Darwin’s teachings. Usually you get one or the other but not both, and, unexpectedly, the author is in a leadership position at a legit, well-regarded company. |
@chuck I see the article was produced back in 2016 and updated since. Quite the sound room they have at MSB- I am sure every one of those suggestions were employed in the construction of this room. I've often wondered how does one know when to stop with the absorption and diffusion treatments?

I am not going to put the silver paste on anything on my circuits, but the author writes that:
? Is he referring to the neutral/ground bar?
Is this jump down legitimate to do? And if it is, I am not sure where to put the junction box? I guess you would have to cut the dry wall out and mount the box to a stud close to the outlet, kind of like in new construction and then patch some new dry wall in? I guess I might replace the 12-2 I used in one room with 10-2, but even if it is legitimate, I am not going to go any larger than 10 gauge and "jump" it down inside junction boxes. I am only asking those last two questions because I truly don’t know a lot about this subject. But I guess it doesn’t matter, because as I said, I am not using the silver paste or doing any jumping down regardless of what the answer is.
