http://www.ethanwiner.com/dimmers.html Note: i just came across this on the web. I am new to most concepts involving acoustics, sound, and certainly studio construction. I figured rather than just posting just threads with questions for other members, it would be a good use of my time and membership to contribute as well. If any of the more experienced people on here have comments about this article, please post them.

This is an idea, although not for residential use. Artice 647 in the N.E.C. (electricians code book) will allow 120 volt single phase 3 wire system with 60 volts on each of two ungrounded conductors to a grounded neutral conductor shall be permitted for the purpose of reducing objectioanble noise in sensitive electronic equipment locations provided that the following conditions apply: 1 The system is installed only in commercial or industrial occupancies. 2 The system's use is restricted to areas under close supervision by qualified personnel. No neutral, no noise. Markd 16
