| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning @thyce Thing seem to be quite different in the US to the UK this is a typical UK consumer unit with the usual value breakers for a there bedroom house. https://cursorium.co.uk/uploads/consumer_unit.jpg | |

| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning @cleedsThat would be assuming the identical piece of equipment being used at 110V and 240V, whereas the equipment would be built for the particular voltage being used, so both pieces of equipment would be different so they produce the same Wattage... | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning @cleeds 1000Watts @ 240V - 1000/240 = 4.16 Amps1000Watts @ 110V - 1000/110 = 9.09 AmpsMy point being if connections are not perfect trying to pass 9.09 Amps through them will cause more problems than passing 4.16 Amps. | |
| Best kept secret in AC line filtering conditioning @grannyring I understand that, but if there is no noise from the amp when it’s not playing, and no noise from the amp when everything is connected to it and switched on and it’s not playing, then surely there is no noise entering the system from t... | |

| Stuck at home? Make a speaker or something for goodness sake! Not so much a scratch build as a strip out and major modification. Not quite finished yet, but tested at several points along the way, so no real idea of the final sound. I hope to have them finished this weekend. I expect to have them apart sever... | |

| Speaker magnets I’ve been quite busy over the weekend :^)https://cursorium.co.uk/speaker-project/More work to be done. | |
| Speaker magnets Thanks guys, there is plenty of info here to get me started in the right direction. Looks like I have a bit of reading, accompanied by a fair bit of trial and error, good job I have plenty of free time :^) | |
| Speaker magnets @dweller To my mind that would just introduce the possibility for another source of noise? | |
| Speaker magnets I have a pair of 1980s Gale GS302 speakers that have damaged woofers, the tweeters are okay. They are a two way system + a passive radiator. I have stripped them out and they are made of nice thick material with plenty of bracing and doubling up i... | |
| Speaker magnets @oldhvymec3I’ll have to go with your investigation suggestion as the speakers have nothing on them besides the Wattage and Ohms. The 8" Kevlars are mental, if you get them stuck together they are one hell of a job to separate. |
