Copper Sleeve over IEC


There has been several threads on AA about putting a 1 1/2" copper union (coupler) over the IEC on the CD Player, Preamp, Amp.

Well I tried it...

Anyone else give it a try?

David my last post was in reference to removing the entire cover off the AC mains breaker box. Tom
Chrissan,
I just talked to 1 electrical engineering at my work and, just like you brought it up earlier, he too rec'd to run a ground wire from a coupler to the classis. Verified.
He thinks to design a "metal hat" like Marantz do to their REference lines to shield up the entire transformer is not a bad idea...
Brought my EIC connector in local Ace hardware for sizing but their biggest size avail. for copper coupler was half inch or 3/8". Does any one have the part number from Lowes of Home Depot?
Nasaman,

Lowe's is a better bet, even though I found their bins a complete mess.

#222144 corresponds to a 1-1/2" coupler.

Bring your cord and get the size that fits closest, you may need 1-1/4" so
read the label on the coupler to verify.

Thansk,I have the standard Wattgate plugs so will see. An engineering guy said that it isn't have to be copper. It can be brass or else, what matter is its thickness. He also added, other material that can actually "neutralize" magnet is called Mu-metal, but then it'll have side effects as well, and he went on... to probably few pages if I type all down. I'll stick with copper.
