Using battery power to go off the City's power grid

Again with the clarity/resolution verus warmer/rolled off addiction game. It is not one game....It is not one way.....

You will only know what better is by trying one and listening......then you will know.. I can tell you a bunch of words (you like words) but words are not experience. When you get your Giandel (maybe in few years of talking about something you know nothing about).....and you listen.....ONLY then will you know what "better" is......but then again, you might find it "worse".....and this is why you need such hand holding.........."That jump off the curb really is small" says your mother....."I will even hold your hand." God, life, your mother, all of us are holding your hand. You will be safe. Trust the universe....trust your experience....but in order to have experience.....you have to JUMP!

So when is your Giandel arriving so you can listen and tell everyone what you hear? Or, are you just going to keep asking questions and making comments? Do you really want to know something? Knowledge is experience. I can describe the taste of chocolate all day long and you would still know nothing......You put a small piece in your mouth and you instantly KNOW..

Here are some words you all might like: The guy Oeno is the guy with the Giandel system....please read his comments: especially posts #56 and #61 on the next page

ricevs,

Please just answer my simple questions.  I know how to interpret your direct answers.  If you tell me that the Giandel is a soft sound like the Yeti, I won't waste even $2K trying it out.  I am perfectly happy with my present system not to bother with the extra considerable floor space requirements of batteries/inverter.

Don't school me on life, experience, etc.  My musical experience and knowledge exceed anyone you have ever met in your long life.  I respect your technical knowledge, so just answer my questions, please.

I'll read Oeno's account on WBF, thanks.

@ricevs Good that you can hear the failings of the interters you are testing.

About your comment on PS audio, I don't understand what you are saying or else you don't.  Inverting is changing DC to AC.  The PS audio rectifies the DC from teh wall and the converts it back to AC, the definition of an inverter.  

Are you trying to point out some other subtlty?  

But I say it is the quality of the inverter,  the quantity of amperage, and the low output impedance, that makes a quality power supply expensive.

Viber,

I have never heard a Giandel Inverter.....I KNOW nothing about how is sounds......but I trust my friend and know his system (which is incredible). Here is what I will tell you......the Giandel will give you everything you ever wanted and more........or it won’t. he he

The PS Audio uses a generated sine wave and a power amp to do inversion....very different from the "normal" inverters. I don’t know the technology.....but looking at the schematics it is very different from a "normal amplifier". Actually, it does not matter about terminology.....of what does what.....What matters is the sound. Even Jay on his forum likes his $27,000 Stromtank inverter better than the $10,000 PS Audio thang (whatever you want to call it).

The quality of the inverter is based on infinte things. When I was modding the Exeltech inverters back in the 90s.....I changed the output filter cap from a Panasonic cap to a Wonder cap and the sound was more pure.....a gazillion things make for sound differences. The inverters out there are not made by audiophiles who listen to every resistor, wire, inductor, cap, damping, etc. etc. They are made to function well for their intended use......So, if you find one that is exceptional sounding for audo....it is a find......The Giandel seems to be the one for NOW.....only NOW....for tomorrow it may be tossed out for the SUPER DUPER lastest one......This game has just begun.

"My musical experience and knowledge exceed anyone you have ever met in your long life" Wow, someones ego is out of control. How do you know this? And WHY would you state that? Do you want to be seen as super important and all knowledgable? When you really love yourself deeply.....you also deeply love everyone. You would never try to make your self superior to others.....We know who is most loving....by their love. No one needs to brag that they are loving.

You are so beautiful.....you never need to brag or put on a display....you simply be yourself.....and the "yourself" that is real wants to always be of service and love everyone because that is what is REAL and gives the most happiness to everyone.

"I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”~ Maya Angelou

Please, love one another.....make someone FEEL good.

A beautiful woman was talking to me as I was leaving the property here a couple of days ago. She called me "sweetheart".........As I drove out in the street, I was glowing.....I kept saying to my self....."she called me sweetheart".........she made me feel good. So, my sweethearts....have a great day, and a great life...YOU are loved.....pass it on.

ricevs,

Thanks for links to Oeno's comments.  He has good musical insights and describes the benefits of his Giandel system in a useful way.

You will want to get a Giandel for yourself, maybe a smaller 2200 if that's what you can afford.  Go to Oeno's place, and A/B it with his Giandel 5000, using his same batteries.  Then put Wonder caps on yours, and you both can listen and evaluate.  But it might be risky to take his 5000 and modify it, since he is very happy at present, and there is a chance that he has slightly different sonic tastes than you.
