DIY Balanced AC Power Conditioner

Pretty touchy GlenB. No I didn't look at your schematic. Now that I have, I've changed my opinion.

Glen, that looks gorgous!!! Impressive.

BTW, you did take skeptic's criticism pretty rough. "Clark, I haven't seen a beating like that since [someone] put a banana in my pants and let a monkey lose!" -Eddie from one of the Vacation movies

He's from Audio Asylum, it's to be expected. That's how a lot of them are over there. With Jon Risch as the moderator, they're often at each other's throats.

That and the fact that with your infinite wisdom, you shot first, insulted your fellow electrical engineer and asked questions later. You "changed your opinion" but never apologized. Some call that arrogance.

"Some call that arrogance."

In civilized society it is. At Audio Asylum, it's just par for the course. (I wanted him to feel at home here. Making the transition out of the bizzarro world and into ours, it's only natural that he might feel culture shock so a few insults and a little abuse will ease the change.) Besides, E-Stat, what do you want, a signed Magna Carta? I already said I changed my mind when I looked at it. After staying around here for a while, my motto is "Ready, Fire, Aim." (After my threads on "A Love Supreme" it seems many times all I have to do is fill in between the dots.)

I can only imagine your response if some guy told you that one of your electrical projects broke code, was dangerous, even illegal and said if you didn't understand any of that, you would help them out.

Hey skeptic you asked for it...take your beating, eat your crow. It will teach you not to smack someone around before carefully seeing if your arguments have merit.

To quote one of my favorite movies: "Hmm I don't know I could use a good beating, I haven't had one in a while"

The only comment I have on Glen B is that he is brave...I am a EE Yet I have never been comfortable building anything that even has a remote chance of sparking or catching fire.
(When I was 8 I modified a ocillating fan control and it sparked and knocked me flat, memorable).
His design looks sound but I perfer to shell out $80 for a good Triplite AC filter surge protector.

Peace, Love and Audio for all

The only parts of concern are the Auricaps. A number of companies are using them as differential filters in their products, most notably Balanced Power Technologies. I am not alone in my bravado.

I haven't visited AR in some time so that is why I am now responding. Hey, you caught me on a bad day. In hindsight, my response could have been "more diplomatic." I really wouldn't say people are at each other's throats at AA. Actually, there was a time when you could say that such was the case here at AR. I find things more quiet and civilized here now.

Peace.
