Now I´m worried. Why the cable is dangerous?Please explain, I don´t want to damage my amplifier!- it will make no difference, other than maybe replacing a safe cable with a dangerous one.
You are right!Thank you for your advice!Only a qualified electrician should work with mains cabling.
Yes, sorry. I seem to be an especially grumpy Dalek today.I guess I can expect that out of a Dalek
Yes it reduces the capacitance to ground but, as noted by others, that's of no consequence in a power cable. Two-wire zip cord will work just as well as any fancy, low-oxygen copper, shielded cable to carry AC power to your amp (in spite of all the gobbledygook the audio fanatics will try to snow you with).But not connecting the shield to the earth ground lowers the capacitance,no?
And what about all the unshielded power cable in the wall? Shielding a few feet of wire from the wall to the amp will have little effect on the total amount of radiation picked up on the power line to the amp.Shielded power cords are mandatory for most of the projects we do at work for two reasons, emissions and susceptibility. Emissions usually don't apply in consumer audio gear because they don't create much electrical noise. Susceptibility is real. High frequency noise from a failing flourexcent lamp ballast can get into the amp through the line cord acting as an antenna, squirt through a poorly decoupled power supply, and show up at the speaker terminals.
I have heard diferences between power cords. I allways prefered the standard power cord to other fancy cables, but this Lapp Kabel is very good too. And is a cheap cable!Two-wire zip cord will work just as well as any fancy, low-oxygen copper, shielded cable to carry AC power to your amp (in spite of all the gobbledygook the audio fanatics will try to snow you with).
Yes, indeed . Thank you for your answer, I will keep the 3*1,5 mm2It seems that your friends belive that thicker is allways better.
