A new gadget arrived yesterday... an
Atlona AT-VGA11S VGA Ground Loop Isolator.
I discovered this little device a few months back and I had been curious ever since. The thing that stopped me jumping on it was the price. Well, maybe not so much the actual price of the
item itself but the crazy FedEx postage that seller insists on using.
Anyway, because I have no will power to resist such cool looking little things, I finally pushed the button and a few days later this little beauty arrived. I haven't tested fully yet but hopefully there will be some benefits to report...

The idea behind this box is that by isolating the computer and CRT, any potential interference caused by ground loops will be eliminated. We'll see how that works out in practise... The
manual promises some desirable advantages.
I also have some neat little 50 cm VGA cables on the way so that I can put this gadget in my signal chain (along with the
Extron and
UMSA).
