i just moved into an apartment building. my stereo is still in storage. i notice lights dimming throughout the day. the building is 35 years old and still uses those old style screw in fuses. what do you think the power conditions are going to be like for audio equipment?

Probably crappy...i would buy some type of a UPS. -
Just make sure it has voltage regulation built in. Most off the shelf UPS systems only switch to battery when there is no voltage. The biggest issues you are going to have is when the voltage is present, just not 110/120 volts.

That is strange. My building is 55 years old and has modern breakers. Are you sure of the age of the building?Originally posted by BWLover

While the one in NYC never does anything(!), I do know that the one in CT regulates reliably and is also a reliable UPS.what do you think the power conditions are going to be like for audio equipment?

The four batteries are wired in series for (nominally) 48 volts. The UPS charger applies... -
So my roommates and I just recently moved into our new apartment in State College and got all our speakers finished and setup (except for the center - still bare MDF). The mains are Mark K's RS225/RS28A on my DIY stands. Those speakers just have a PE vinyl on them as (perhaps) a temporary finish. The... -
Hi again,
My work is throwing out some perfectly good APC UPSs, and wonder if any of you delightful fellows know whether or not they would be able to support my ROTEL 1066/1075 units? (and if they are worth using anyway?)
The specs are as follows: (I live in the UK and... -
Found this info posted on another forum, thought it might come in handy for those needing so ship goods via UPS outside the US........
