Thoft, bring it to the attention of the owner of the house. Without ground, your fuses or circuit breakers may not be effective and cause a fire hazard. Don't live with that risk. It should get fixed.

Tom, Free from NASA, fluid dynamics.. See if there are any insights for me with this software. Tom https://software.nasa.gov/software/LAR-16882-1 |
Tom - that guy knows his wire, and consider his background at Belden. I'd love to hear his wire. He reminds me of my first aha speaker cable experience at CES around 1978. (This post repeats some earlier references, but 200+ pages deep and some new folks might like hearing . . . ) Kimber and Thiel were fairly new companies, before "wire" had become a component. We were using 00 welding cable for speaker wire. A bunch of serious guys had congregated in our CES exhibit room the night before opening. Ray had this braided stuff to submit to critique. Its sell price would be around $1000/pair foot due to all its exoticacies. (in 2021 dollars, about $3700/ pair foot.) Wow! the sonic upgrade was stunning to everyone in the room. We exhibited with it, and took some flack from reviewers and dealers for using $30K speaker cables with our 03 being introduced at around $900/pair. That experience focused our attitude that each upstream component bears its own responsibilities for signal purity. We generally fed our speakers a much more expensive signal than norms would suggest. Does anyone here use braided flat wire? either Kimber or others? I know it's extremely expensive to make well, and I'd like to hear if anyone is succeeding with it. TT |
Galen is like a perpetual motion machine..there is 0 time delay between his mind and his mouth. A flow of information. The video is long but well designed and executed. Makes me rethink my Coaxial based RG6 cables each a separate single wire of a pair. Each cable surrounded by S70 microbearing shield, there for a combination of RF and vibration burn off. Did Galen speak of resonance or mechanical shielding of the wire in acoustic space? What happens under the bombardment inside a speaker box? What change may there be? Tom |
