    Class D and Me Too!... The Hypex Path

    Is it problematic to try one of the "faulty" boards from the 2 channel unit in the 3 channel unit just to verify that the board is the issue? I don't have good knowledge of electronics, but it seems like, now that you have established that both modules in the stereo unit have similar problems...

    Comparing speakers? A & B

    Some of the speakers you are considering (maybe not anymore) appear to have come with a "all-in-one" portable system. One thing about speakers that came with these systems is they are often designed exclusively for use with the system they are packaged/sold with. Usually, if you listen to a...

    Question about household wiring

    Just an update. This has fallen off of my to-do list until I get back for Mexico in early March.

    Question about household wiring

    Interesting, where would you find such a rental? Home Depot or a more specialized business?

    Question about household wiring

    Thanks, good info. I have done a touch test with the panel cover still on (of course!) and there were no noticeably warm spots (probably 55 degrees in my garage). I will remove the cover and get more specific, but the stupid-simple approach was too easy not to have done it immediately. I know I...

    Question about household wiring

    Yeah, I have one of the gun/thermometers with a laser, so I will use that. I don't know what makes imaging equipment qualify as "good", but for infrequent use, you can buy one of these from Amazon for $250. The price seems too cheap, but I don't know how much money is saved by using a phone...

    Question about household wiring

    Thanks! This is a good check of the wiring that I had not thought of and it costs nothing other than a little time and finding a wire long enough to run the test - actually I have speaker wires that will cover that. It will probably be this weekend before I get back to this.

    Question about household wiring

    Thanks! First I will install it without the dimmer, if for no other reason, so I know where to look if something goes wonky on me. But, I would not have known that it needs to have specific LED designation!

    Question about household wiring

    Out of curiosity, I measured voltage for a light on a different circuit and it only read 3.2V between the live and common wires. I'm assuming every circuit has its own "back-story".

    Question about household wiring

    Wow! Thank you so much for providing this, The problem with my plan was not really knowing where the proper threshold would be, but you just gave me a set of established parameters (and where to measure)! I genuflect in your general direction!

    Question about household wiring

    Because some of you probably know the tune, my current joy/thrill/happy-place is playing "Well You Needn't" by Theloneus Monk. It is one of those songs where for the bari. part, I can really throw everything I've got at (not overall volume, but punching the hell out of the attacks on most of the...

    Question about household wiring

    Yeah, I didn't expect that it would actually tell me what was happening. Generally speaking, I would not be willing to do a complete rewire unless it was clear that it was needed to prevent a fire. So the thermal test would be about ensuring there was not a condition which would result in a...

    Question about household wiring

    That makes sense, and is why I am thinking a thermal scan of the switch panel may be a way to determine that a fire is not in the works. It seems like if there are no significant heat concentrations at the panel, there is not a serious safety hazard whether it is a ghost voltage or neutral...

    Question about household wiring

    Seems like a thermal scan across the surface of the panel would show if a severe problem exists!? Or maybe take the panel cover off!?

    Question about household wiring

    Good to hear from lots of the old gang. I am actually doing quite well for the most part. Now that I have had time to heal/adapt from my subdural hematoma, I have realized that my verbal skills have been impacted. My verbal skills were never great (and I always spoke relatively slowly, but not...

    Question about household wiring

    It occurred to me that there might be some state (or county) that actually performed a proper inspection, but maybe I'm mixing up la-la-land with reality!
