With all the controversy surrounding the measurement of the P12 Power Plant we thought it useful to show how the measurements for output impedance, distortion, waveshape, etc. are properly made. Who best to show us than the Power Plant’s designer, PS Audio’s Chief Engineer, Bob Stadtherr. In this vi…

His measurements of the magnepan LRS was an even bigger joke, he measured them at 1 meter. He also pretty much said listening to just one speaker gave him a pretty good idea of the imaging capabilities.

@wobblewobble You can educate yourself from the largest, most respected cable company in the world, the Defacto Standard in cable production. Belden. Do power cables really matter? The simple answer is, “yes!” See below; bavpoweranalysis.pdf 879.99 KB

Thanks, Glimme. I see the logic better now though it still makes no sense in the practical. We have the same equipment. Not sure how many people actually know the AP products but for those that have them or use them I’ll try and make some sense of this. The AP is agnostic to its power cable with r…

I have deleted a good number of recent off-topic posts, as well as post consisting of bickering. Yes, the thread could be shut down, but the topic of Power Plants, power supplies, power cords is perfectly appropriate. Please be civil, make an honest attempt to understand each other, and respectful…

[image] Is there a way to measure a fuse why it can make a change on how a system sounds? Before you close this thread, I wonder if there’s any way to measure a fuse why it can make a change on how a system sounds. Het waymanchen… This could very well be a new topic starter… just my .02 Bes…

Thanks, Elk. Much appreciated. If comments or views are mean spirited or in anger they are to be deleted. There’s no place for it on this forum.

[image] RonP: I was taught in both Mechanical Engineering and Economics that we should always be aware that we don’t know what we don’t know. I think he doesn’t know what he doesn’t know. Or put another way, ‘half of being smart is knowing what you’re dumb at’ :^ )

My view is that Muliwave is implemented in wrong way. By turning on multiwave the output is a “fatter” wave, but the RMS value is keep constant. The correct implementation should be that peak of the wave is kept constant. With RMS constant the peak of the wave will be reduced i.e. running equipmen…

[image] Paul: The AP is agnostic to its power cable with respect to shielding and noise. It reaches its numbers with or without a shielded power cable. I can use an off the shelf POS lamp cord plug and get the same results as guaranteed by AP. The noise floor of the device is not a function of t…
