Tacima mains conditioner

[TrevC]

The tacima was causing my bryston to shut off during playback for a second with all the leds turning red.

This is because it was creating an inductive load and the amp wasnt getting enough power. Taken the tacima out never done it since. The tacima works perfectly there was no issue with it.

The bryston works perfectly off an isotek titan so it's nothing to do with it running off a conditioner just that the tacina was no good With it.

It also sounded a lot better after as well which is not surprising at all.

It must have all happened in a dream, as it's impossible....apparently.

Yep. Stop imagining things and you'll be fine.

Perhaps a dry joint like this was causing the Bryston to freak.

I tacima worked perfectly as does the bryston.
It happened as explained and has not happened since

It happened more than once and it's the reason i bought the isotek titan as its a high current designed power conditioner and it doesn't hinder dynamics as far as i have tested

...not according to Einstein, who said, "The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination." *blum3*

If anyone is interested i have just broke open an old tacima i have.

Inside is exactly as i thought for each connection ie positive negative earth has a long bar most likely brass that all the plugs share.

The initial filter circuit board wire feeds to these bars.

So the first thing you plug in ie closest to the filter is the first thing that will receive power.

Hence my suggestion to put the most power hungry component in that socket Seems to make perfect sense to me or put the most sensitive to noise cocomponent there If there is no real difference in power consumption

That makes no sense, as everything will be powered in parallel. Electrical charge moves pretty quickly through metals.

The problem with flat-earth audiophiles is they contemplate electronics in mechanical terms. Electricity through conductors is not the same as water through a garden hose.

You're right. I was too polite. I should have said stop deluding yourself.

Now I know why the lights in my house that are furthest away from the consumer unit are dimmer... all that damn electricity is feeding the closest ones first! You'd think after a hundred years or so of circuit design, someone would have realised!

(Shakes head in absolute disbelief.)

Now that's more like the TrevC we know and love!

I think you should avoid thinking.

I have 2 but don't use them on my amps.

Seriosly, does one need an EE diploma to know basic physics, considering we all learned those at primary and secondary school? *sad*

There are kids leaving school here in the UK that can't read or write so an understanding of basic physics is by no means a given. Plenty of evidence of that in some of the posts on this forum.

But the lights in my house are just as bright in all of the rooms no matter how near or far.

Ahh. Wait a minute. I see what you did there...

So basically all cable believers are hooligans.
