In the Thread: It’s mad, mad, mad... electricity.
Post Subject: Best Case: something else to integratePosted by Paul S on: 8/28/2008
I have offered myself up as a bad example time and again to illustrate the sorts of errors I make in the way of diagnostics and "remediation" of bad sound caused by bad electricity, including plates loads, just as you mention and also much more extreme and absurd "measures" I have taken.
It certainly seems to be the case that no "cure" for bad electricity comes without its price, and it also appears that any one approach to any one problem may severally eff-up other aspects of sound exactly because it also messes up the electricity, itself, in another way.
The big revelation is that, indeed, the "cures" are not merely plug-and-play, as the manufacturers and sellers would have you believe. Best case, one would have to "integrate" the effects of any curative into the system very carefully. I have never been successful at this, but I'm guessing it would take a LONG time to do it, through many "cycles" of good and bad electricity. Frankly, with present "technology", I don't see how it would be done. MAYBE with a battery bank the size of a 2-car garage (but that alone would not cure the crosstalk, etc, etc...).
Yes, the bad electricity is bad enough by itself, in a generic sense. But the thing I find most maddening is the inconsistency of the bad electricity and the several and seemingly contradictory manifestations of it.
