A question or two about the filters you suggest, Al...

Thanks, first, for your input Al.

Something I noticed during last weekend was that whenever I turned the VCR on, and am not using the VCR tuner - i.e. using the TV to change channels, not the VCR - the picture from my bunny ears when down the crapper in a big way. The distance that my antenna is from the VCR is greater than all my other source components, so they are all in the VCR's sphere of influence. I'll start keeping the VCR unplugged until I need it: I don't need the clock anyway : ).

I suppose the DVD player can be on the same circuit as the VCR, since there too both components won't be used at the same time.

The filters, though, are what intrigue me. I must have missed many of the recipe posts, and then when I "search" there's been so much commenting on them that it's an exercise in futility finding the recipes. I'm aware of the Alan Maher products, will look up Quiet Lines, but the R-C networks and Hammond chokes I've read about are still a mystery to me. I'd hate to have everyone repeat themselves about those two subjects but if anyone is willing to go through the trouble of posting links or emailing me directly, I would greatly appreciate it.

My video input signal is from the forementionned aerial that is in the basement nearby my equipment (that's isolated, right?). We might be getting digital cable soon, or we may improve on the aerial by getting a roof mounted array of some kind. Your idea of "too many circuits now" instead of adding more later makes sense there, since we'd add a decoder box for cable.

As for the sub's power supply, I have no idea. I'll check the owner's manual. Again, "series filter"? Google's getting a workout later! : )

As far as the Oyaide's are concerned, yeah, I agree. I would just rather upgrade a component for the same price... as I said - average equipment.

Thanks, Al. Once again demonstrating why you're an asset to the AA.
