A bartender at the Peel Fresco Music Lounge, (49 Peel St., Central, Hong Kong) and I invented this over break time at a gig I was playing on a scorching hot Kong Kong summer evening. I make the all the time now.1 cold 12 oz bottle of good cider (Magner's typically works well)1.5 ounces good vodkajui...

It's not that complicated. A typical amplifier or other piece of equipment that has a bipolar power supply (+/- rails), and most audio gear does, is insensitive to changes or noise on those rails as long as is occur oppositely. This noise cancels out with respect to ground and the unbalanced signal ...

Exactly backwards from my vision. I guess I have to think about this some more.

I really had to think about this and I'm still not 100% sure so you may be right, but you said pulls in a brief but high current pulse. I took this to mean that for an instant the load increased for a brief period of time. Increased current means the two legs are closer together in potential as the ...

Return current becomes an issue is if there is a neutral that is shared by more than one outlet. This is where the resistance of the neutral wire creates a voltage drop that is reflected as difference in potential between the neutral connections of different outlets on the same neutral. This is espe...

I've been thinking about this wiring for studios a bit after having done so a few times. If I were to do it again I would simply wire the whole thing for 240V. Ideally I would have a dedicated feed to do this and use a star topology for ground and outlet circuits feed. Quite simply this takes all th...

The advantage is creating a star ground system that is forced by having a home run of romex for each outlet. Even better if that home run terminates at the building steel ...

Carbondale:Every sunday at the Pinch Penny Pub in Lewis Park. Gigs during the week. Most may not know him but I'll bet a few of you do.http://hosting-24900.tributes.com/show/Joseph-C.-Liberto-92626236
