nicholtl Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Cool, thanks. Interesting read. Out of business though, eh...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Disc Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Well, you can read that a number of ways... Could be that the Quietlines were found by most as being as effective as their $300-$800 line conditioners and the Quietlines by themselves could not keep the company afloat. Just conjecture on my part. Just so you know, it takes more than one of these on the lines around your room to be effective. I have about 4 in the basement where my 2-channel is, and another 2 near by Home theater setup. I'm not postive they are out of business only was told that from Bob at Elusive Disc they were struggling and probably would go out of business. I don't belive they are shipping new product either.

nicholtl Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Yeah, acoustic sounds also has them listed as "limited stock." So to get this straight...for them to work, not only must there be quite a few of them dispersed around the house, but it works by simply plugging them into wall socket receptacles? Do you plug your equipment into these things after the fact, or do they plain and simply "use up" sockets, leaving you with less to use?

3dzapper Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 Those Audio Quest plugs look like the thingies I made for my system. Basically a plug capacitors and MOVs in a delta configuration. One can hear the difference when they are inserted or removed. Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Disc Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 nicholtl, You plug them in near your equipment, they do take up a plug receptical. Where you plug them in depends on what else is on your circuit. Sometimes just one will not do and you need two. You don't plug anything into them. I have mine plugged in to the left of my equipment and to the right of my equipment. There is one plugged in near the circuit breaker. I also have one plugged into a spare plug on my AC extension cable/box. A noise sniffer is useful in determining correct placement and amount of them, which is why I purchased one. - Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powdermnky007 Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 Do they use alot of power? Do they get hot? And how exactly do they work? something like power goes in power gets filtered power goes back Thanks for your input, this looks like a very good option that I will probably get. If I go with this option I would still like to have some sort of surge protection. Does anyone know an affordable surge protector, that sounds good?

LarryC Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 I just bit the bullet and ordered a set of 8. Clark @ Acoustic Sounds said they had 2 left before I ordered. I may have some left over depending on how well they work. Larry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Disc Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 powdermnky007, I don't think they use any power as they don't draw current. I could be wrong. No, no heat generated. None I can detect. They work by shunting the noise over to ground. I believe they use a capacitor. See here, and alternatives to the Quietlines (Enacom): http://www.positive-feedback.com/ambackissues/enacom.htm A surge protector that sounds good? Can't help you there I don't and won't use them with my 2-channel setup. I suggest not using one for the best sound. - Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
