Acoustic Revive uses it in a lot of their tweaks, some of their power cables have it utilized across the cable bodies (I'm assuming between the dielectric and the tubing).

I forgot to pop back in but I replaced the (still solid) Aerovox capacitor with a Mundorf Supreme Evo silver gold oil of the same rating and it was quite the success. I had to use a different, larger cover for the ECA since the capacitor was so much larger than the old one (and I needed to...

Thank you very much for your help yyzSB and KaiSc. I plan on using the SR1 for both music and film (film being a good chunk of the reason why I'm looking at the SR1 more than the CA-1) and the dynamic range of the latter with many blu-rays and uhd's can be a problem with loud sounds, so as long...

I'm quite sure this question has been answered multiple times already, but this is a 385 page thread and it's difficult to know just what terms to use in the search function, but compared to traditional open back headphones (and I have no experience with other earspeaker types like the Sigma...

Thank you very much for the help guys. I might just try a couple other different caps to see what works best and stick within the tolerance rating limit from the 7uF Aerovox (I've seen capacitance ratings as low as 0.047 and 0.033 on outlets elsewhere, just not in one of the ultra/extreme...

Well it's nice to see this thread still going strong now that I know a bit more about electricity and all its' wonders given my previous ignorance. I recently opened up my ECA Extreme Isolation transformer (2.5 kVA model) and replaced the power cable with a nicer one that I already owned with...

I've been contemplating upgrading my entire headphone system for a while and wanted to start at the headphones and then grab the amp and dac that would best complement them. The problem right now is finding the right set of headphones. Currently I'm looking between a handful of different sets...

I'll snap better pictures later today. I also have a Liebert pure sine wave output regenerator coming today, I think it has voltage regulation, but I'm not positive. If it does, maybe I can get this to work. If the isolator is 240 volts strict it's going to be a pain to re-sell.

Tested my isolator with the multimeter, going in it's getting 117 volts. The output though is only 65/66 volts, which is the problem. I'm assuming this is due to the isolator needing a full 240 volts to run properly.

Looks like I spoke a bit too soon as only certain things seem to work with the isolator. Plugs into the wall fine, draws power from it. Power strips and the Transparent Isolator work fine with it. Even plugged a Nintendo Switch dock into it (though that works with a wide range of voltages), a...

Well, I have some good news. I decided just to try to hard wire a disposable 12 gauge cable into the unit and it works. Tested it with a few simple things like old Radioshack power strips first and then tried my Transparent Reference Isolator in it and then something else plugged into the...

There's unfortunately not a single label on this unit (inside or out) that gives the voltage information, or any useful technical info at all save for the labels I already posted (that very basic version of the wiring diagram, and the unit's model number). I'm going to have to use a multimeter...

It seems my unit doesn't even turn on with a 250 volt 6-20r to 120 volt 5-20p adapter cable (cost nearly $50 to find that out :frowning2: ). I thought these were nearly all step up step down 120/240 in and out units (all the ones I've seen have been specified as such and this unit is brand new...

Hello everyone. I just bought and received an Ultra Isolator myself. Am I wrong or is it already wired for balanced power? It looks odd in both the configuration and using both brown and red wiring jackets which from what I know usually are both used for hot wires? I'm not really educated enough...
