    The majority of the time it simply indicates the direction the wire is 'drawn' (pulled) through the forming die.

    Sometimes it referres to a scheme where there is a lifted ground (drain ) wire at one end of shielded IC. This is called a telescoping ground.

    In the case of the telescoping ground IC's yes pay attention to the arrows.

    If the arrows are just indicating a wire draw direction just listen and see if you prefer one direction over the other.

      Just got a 1066 and I am having a problem with what I think is Ground Loop Hum. I have the unit hooked up to a Monster PowerCenter HTS-3500MkII which is plugged in to a grounded outlet with all of my other components. I then disconnected the other components leaving only this processor plugged in along...

      Here's what I've done:

      Major Ground Loop after Direct TV upgrade from Dish.
      by mitch57
      Thank You Very Much Direct TV!!! I upgraded (or should I say downgraded) from Dish to Direct TV. I bought a new 50" plasma and upgraded to HD. I knew that this was one of the first things I was going to be looking for after the installation.

      Dear All,

      Like many of you I had a ground loop problem caused by my cable TV connection. Via my dealer in India I was able to obtain a ground breaker (which he had imported from China). This ground isolator was based on breaking the ground connection using I believe windings much like...

      Crossover question relating to ground plane
      by Fdas
      Good afternoon all.

      I'm slowly but surely making progress on my Statement monitors.

      The way I am doing the cross over is to have the mid/tweet on one piece of single sided FR4 and the woofer crossover on a second piece of single sided FR4.

      The FR4 is drilled...
