Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
@grannyring - as you know, I’ve been messing with audio gear for a long time but I had no idea of the amount of RF riding on my AC line throughout the house. Its the same result in every outlet I’ve tried that little Entech on! @dpop - I’m always...

Thanks dpop. What you are saying for utility powered AC circuits makes total sense (dedicated lines, balanced power, isolated grounds and neutrals, etc) @ricevs and others have really done the yeoman's work on trying to find a reasonably priced bu...

That station’s radio tower is a couple miles away so fairly close. Interesting that particular RF goes away when on battery power. I assume my house wiring is acting like an big antennae. I just tried it in a few kitchen outlets and got great radi...

Ok, here are results of the Entech Wideband Power Analyzer I recently got to check out the noise on my house power lines v. the Bluetti AC200MAX. Its rather humorous but remarkable! I assume if I got a Puritan 156 it would take the noise reading d...

I have an Entech power line noise analyzer arriving on Monday. OCD Mikey used one in his videos regarding the Puritan conditioner and they are fairly cheap.

@ricevs - Too bad it was actually the Bluetti AC200P which uses their older inverter design that according to Hobotech is much noisier than their current MAX series of inverters. The control software is also different. Anyway, I've been looking at...

Ric - how much power will your amp be drawing from the Bluetti AC300? The AC300 has a 3,000 watt/6,000 surge inverter and is great in @veroguy’s system but his amp only draws about 90 watts. Its also gotten excellent reviews from the non-audiophil...

ricevs - That is going to be VERY interesting.   
Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
@veroguy - Ok, makes sense why the fan doesn't kick-on for over 4 hours of use -  90 watts is nothing for the AC300/B300. Yep, the MUON is excellent. I went with a linear power supply for my router and was surprised with the improvement in sound q...

@mijostyn - I’m sure those Atma-Sphere MA-2 monos are going to be incredible with the SoundLabs. A number of years ago, I heard the Majestic 845s paired with an earlier version of the MA2s and a Micro Seiki RX-5000/RY-5500 (I forget the tonearm &a...

@veroguy - Great post. I certainly agree with your findings regarding sound quality. Both you and Ric use the Puritan conditioner so I’ll probably check that out in my system at some point. Good to see you can go 4 hours without the fan kicking on...

Using battery power to go off the City's power grid
mijostyn - I just checked out your awesome system! Very nice. Your Parasound JC1 monoblocks draw about 250 watts each at idle and may draw up to 1,200 watts each at full power. So your amps, potentially, may draw 2,400 watts if completely maxed-ou...
