In Reply to: Get off the grid.......Use an inverter posted by Ric Schultz on August 2, 2022 at 12:31:05:
I trust Schultz's ears.
But , I too, would like to see a trace of the inverter's output in comparison to the AC from the line.
I do not doubt what they are hearing but I wonder how bad the AC is they are comparing this to?
Seems almost too good to be true when you read about people's love/hate relationships with stuff like the PUREPOWER. No doubt the PUREPOWER does not have 400 Ah of battery.
Another confusing thing is the AMAZON website where they mix in reviews for the 1500 watts version of the inverter with the recommended 5000 watts version. The 1500 watts version seems to be made to a completely different standard of quality or I hope it is. Lots of disappointed customers have bought that one.
I see MEANWELL has come out with a line of pure sine wave inverters - their highest power is rated at 2700 watts and is only about two hundred dollars less than the one at AMAZON. I figure the MEANWELL will perform to its published specification. I trust their products but someone I trust has heard the AMAZON one - so more audio confusion.
One must assume this unknown to me company really did this one RIGHT for the price they are asking. Again I trust trust Schultz's instincts here - he has seen and heard the device.
Cannot see spending huge money on LiFePo batteries to sit in a listening room. Weight is not a concern for me - except when it is around my waist, of course. Who knows where any of us will be in ten years the estimated life of the SLA SGM battery I am considering.
I am intrigued by this.
I have no idea if my AC is good or bad. One never knows until they try something like this.
Thanks for the notice and hope to read more. I am resisting with all of my weak will the desire to order these pieces today. I suspect i will fail.
