    Does a Sunsynk inverter emit a "good" sine wave for audio?

    And when my skilled electrician installed a changeover switch, he only used the AC live in and out and connected the neutrals together. I made him re-do it as I had supplied a 2-pole changeover switch. He spent 20 mins scratching his head until I explained the diagram on the side of the...

    Does a Sunsynk inverter emit a "good" sine wave for audio?

    I'm using a Kodak OG7.2 inverter. This has a built in earth bonding relay Its easy to check if your (other make) inverter has such a relay: With power off, measure between the AC out neutral to earth. If there is continuity, then it is fitted When the power is off, neutral and earth are...

    Martin Logan vs Dynaudio

    There are some useful hints on the ML users forum One particular is good - vacuum the panels once a month Had 2 friends who had the ML ELS. Both seemed to last 10-11 years and the one went soft. I obtained a replacement panel off eBay for $85, at that time it worked out with shipping, duty and...

    Martin Logan vs Dynaudio

    Would you consider electrostatic speakers? ML produce some excellent models. A combo electrostatic panel and 10" sub for frequencies below 500Hz

    Does a Sunsynk inverter emit a "good" sine wave for audio?

    Stick to 50Hz. Some equipment might not work well with 60Hz, particularly if there is a fan or an AC motor

    Does a Sunsynk inverter emit a "good" sine wave for audio?

    Most of the "better" range of solar inverters supply clean mains. A Sunskyn certainly fills that category I have come across some cheap brands which have a basic switched-mode power supply with minimal filtering. An example is the Solarix range. There is a reason why they are R5000 cheaper...

    What comes first - the source or the speaker?

    A good turntable, even better phono cartridge or an excellent digital source (I use a Lumin U2) would be my first choice Its similar to the phrase used for computers - junk in, junk out

    Silver solder

    I used to install audio equipment for Sound and Cinema. They insisted I use silver solder when making joins. On the reel, it states 4% silver. I used a temperature controlled iron so there was no problem getting it to melt. Personally, I could detect no difference, but they supplied it...
