The manuals are talking about studio installs, whereas dimmer packs are
"luggable" in that context.

When I was doing theatre, they'd bring in 200+ channels of dimmers.
These would be wired direct very close to the service entrance with the
ground lead doubled, making a very robust earth connection.

The sound equipment would then be effectively "separate" . . a much
smaller load usually a service panel or two removed from the lighting.

The "dimmer problem" is most often encountered in a residential or
commercial space that's retrofitted into a studio. Residential dimmers
have to meet emmission standards sufficient for TV viewing, but they
don't stand up to critical listening.

If the power distribution is well-planned and the dimmers are of better
quality (variacs, hopefully), this is less of a problem.

** Variac and variable inductance dimming went out decades ago.

For critical applications, where no audible buzz can be accepted there are
modern "Sine Wave" dimmers - using either mosfets ot IGBTs to "chop" the AC
at supersonic high frequency and scale it to any desired value.

You didn't answer his question ("phil, why are you still here? you
gain nothing (no one here is as knowledgeable as you), and you give
nothing"), you only changed the subject. Why not answer his question?
It should be easy for a genius like you, Phil.

phil, if you *really* wait for my answers with "interest", then you
must first answer the question i asked you *first* (note that i'm not
telling you to leave, i'm trying to find out why you stay when
everyone really, really wants you to):

-----------
phil, why are you still here? you gain nothing (no one here is as
knowledgeable as you), and you give nothing.

absolutely NO ONE wants you here. everyone here is in a group
throwing rocks at you, yelling at you to GO AWAY. it's rather
pathetic, and i'm kinda getting embarrassed for you.
------------


if you honestly answer that question (it actually is quite an honest
question), i will honestly answer the two that you included below.




it just boggles my mind, phil, that someone would stick around and
bother in a forum (of idiots, parrots, and, as we've come to find out,
problematic names) where they are *actively NOT wanted*, and they
contribute and gain NOTHING.

in a way, phil, it challenges my model of behaviourial theory, so i'm
trying to figure out if i need to update it or not.

Heh, thanks for the morning laugh. I feel the same way about advice from
random recordists.

"... just like him"? I'm a lot younger than Ty, and better looking. He has a nicer
mic collection, though.

I'm wondering what kind of person feels so powerless in their own life that
they turn to a place like usenet for some measure of power. You differ from
'normal' trolls in that you appear to be a real person and you only use one
address to post from. So your motivation isn't to destroy the group, as some
kids get their jollies doing over in alt. You seem to try and help some of
the newer members of the forum while attempting, as best as you can, to
insult the 'die-hards'. This is a classic usenet 'divide and conquer'
strategy, but unsuccessful for you as your posting style is uncharismatic in
all ways.

I'm really interested in usenet culture, and I'm writing a dissertation, so
I have a few questions.

1) Are you married? Have you ever been married?
2) What do you do for a living? What is your job title?
3) How much money do you make?
4) Do you come from a single parent household?
5) Do you have fond memories of childhood?
6) Are you affiliated with a political party? If so, what?
7) Are you affiliatd with a religious group, if so, which?
8) Have you ever wounded an animal? If so, why?
9) Do you watch TV? What are your favorite shows?
10) How much sugar do you consume in a day? Caffeine? Alcohol? Canabis?
Cocaine? Heroin?
11) Have you ever been incarcerated? If so, why?
12) Are you now or have you ever been a member of the communist party?
13) Which testacle hangs lower, the right or the left?

Thanks Phil, I know you're the helpful type so I'll just thank you in
advance for your speedy answering.

You can, so you will for no other reason. Do I have that
right?

You must be a _very_ busy troll.

Entitled or not, you are not wanted by anyone here.
Probably never have been anywhere.

How late must one stay up to consider *both* of these positions
to have equivalent or at least comparable validity? I could
answer the question if I only knew my current time zone.

well, it seems that this whole list is comprised of charlatans, spivs,
and their dupes. not to mention idiots, parrots and one, i'm proud to
say, "dickhard"!

so why do you stay, phil? do you LIKE hanging around charlatans,
spivs and their dupes? idiots, parrots and dickhards?

on top of that, they don't even want you around!

phil, i suggest that the reason you don't directly answer my question
("phil, why do you stay here when no one wants you here"), is that
you're ashamed of the answer. which is ok, shame is an important
human emotion.

this is why i suggest that you dismiss this whole list as charlatans,
spivs, and their dupes, parrots, idiots, dickhards, etc., and announce
that you're too good for the likes of us, and be off! you insult us,
AND you save face!
