In Reply to: RE: German Audiophile circuit breakers RE: audiophile circuit breakers for use in US? posted by boodles on May 25, 2021 at 08:45:31
I know. When we returned from Europe, I looked all over the web for something like what what we had in our house overseas. The electrical code is different, but, I don't know why it is not possible to develop a similar circuit breaker like those in Germany.
Follow Ups:
What is an "audiophile grade" circuit breaker supposed to accomplish? The breaker provides an electrical connection up to a certain amperage limit. Above that limit it should, if it is working properly, break the connection and pass no more electricity. So what does an "audiophile" breaker do that a standard breaker doesn't? And why would putting a circuit breaker with a higher amperage rating than the circuit is designed for improve the sound from my stereo? I am trying to wrap my head around what the actual physics behind the claims are.
Those are questions you will need to answer for yourself. Sometimes, I try not to dabble to much behind the science or technology behind such things. If you can understand German, you can read what the reviewers and manufacturer are saying about their product. Also, in Germany, this is the way...-the audiophile community over their have been doing this for many years. If I were you, I would not fret about such things because it makes you only question the why, which is causing some consternation with your beliefs and own knowledge.
Too much fretting can cause anxiety and stress.
Mr Audioquest
You encourage people to do things not in their best interest with no regard to consequence.
There are those who would incite insurrection and others that abide by law and order. Choose carefully how you want to promote and word this. Also this is not Germany which I'm sure has it's own standards and norms for safety despite what you proselytize.
It sucks to get old. It really sucks to get old and bitter.

Dear Mr. Uncle Mike,
Is this a joke? I am not sure how you have misconstrued and have taken my response out of context. Bottom line up front (BLUF): I did not suggest, nor do I condone anything that would violate codes. It is extremely easy to comprehend that what I had stated with regards to Germany, is exactly what I meant, it was done in Germany and within code for their country. I did not assert or posit that we could do that here...in fact, read carefully,,, "I stated, that I wonder why it is not done here". Easy to comprehend...I also do not understand how you could deliberately intertwine a remark about insurrections and law and order as to add nonsense effect to your response. I don't get the point you are trying to make. I really don't. Go to the beginning of the discussion and properly ascertain what the OP was asking and you will see my cordial response.
Have you lived in Germany? Do you have experiences with German electrical codes or electricians? I do, therefore, I merely made a comparison and contrast statement with regards to the difference between U.S. and Germany in the use of circuit breakers...It is obvious I know we are talking about the U.S., because I would not have made the comparison.
Ciao,

UM does things like this once in a while. Your posts speak clearly here, thx.
Why is this post so popular? Are most of you 'plug & play' audiophiles? The post one down highly increasing amp or receiver performance using Hexfred diodes gets little press- go figure.
