In Reply to: RE: Using capacitors across the AC posted by Tweaker456 on August 05, 2016 at 15:08:08
If your very large shunt capacitance for AC use is not intended for RFI suppression, then what are you trying to achieve? You seem to fiddle around with anything you might fancy to experiment with in order impress yourself and others as being some sort of maverick tweaker, regardless of how many audiophile sensibilities you disrespect and disregard in the process.
When it comes to tweaking AC delivery, it's very irresponsible to post unsound advice in a public forum. AC kills. If you don't mind risking your own life, you can rationalize anything you wish to believe. However, don't post such things in a forum that are not supported by common sense safety concerns. Don't be foolish -- stop posting such questionable AC delivery advice in Audio Asylum, and then ask AA Inmates to prove you wrong. Breaking any rule just for the sake of it is not a respectable audiophile goal, and a potentially dangerous thing to advise in a public forum when it comes to an arbitrary modification of the AC delivery path.

The logical fallacies just keep on swirling. I bow down to you Duster, sire of all truth. Of such a regal nature that you don't even have to condescend to answer questions when challenged, with logical reasoned arguments. I suggest you team up with Geoff. If it makes you feel better I will formally retract my recommendation to use any caps ,even if designed for AC, even if they are way above the 120v rating and are encloded in a metal box, that are not rated X or Y and keep a recommendation for people to consider listening to the Vishay 10uf Type X caps across the ac line. Also I recommend that people don't unplug the 10uf cap and then put their tongue on it or try to zap their wife , kids or servile dogs with it. Thanks your elegance, Tweaker

No need to get fussy about this at Duster.
He is right in that your recommendation is dangerous, and may not provide any worthwhile benefits, certainly not guaranteed for everyone who might try it.
So chill out and be more respectful of other posters, and not just Duster.
RE the safety issues, see my reply above.

It's foolish to try to slay the messenger rather than consider good advice based on the experience and insight of many audiophiles over the years, not just me. My responses to you are not ego-driven, they are based on supporting the online audiophile community, for the sake of better audio and reasonable safety concerns.
Your opinions tend to be eccentric at best, often with a derogatory attitude towards AA Inmate's findings and well-informed insights. Acting like a confrontational snarky badass does not build credibility nor any respect within an online audio forum. You are near the top of the list of narcissistic attention-seeking posters who have a self-centered and contentious social attitude in Audio Asylum.
From my perspective, no matter what I say, or how I respond to you as a poster in AA, you never seem willing to accept good advice, or heed valuable findings by others. I have noted that in most cases, you seem to think you can achieve high-performance results while rejecting the cost of audiophile products that would provide what you seek, tending to complain about how SOTA products are too expensive, then tell tall-tales about how your cheap tweaks are better than other AA Inmate's findings and insights that you try to pick a childish fight with. So yes, I think you are trolling for attention in Audio Asylum, acting like a dumbass, a loose cannon, and quite often a self-aggrandizing naysayer.
You should pay attention and follow another AA Inmate's advice to build a respectable AC filter like Al Sekela's parallel AC filter design that Awe-d-o-file posted:
See link:
Yes we're going to follow your lead of using just a cap over an r-c-r filter circuit designed by the renowned engineer and tweaker Al Sekela. And then you harass people with your cynnical replies. Grow up.
