12 AWG Mains Power Cable From Wall To Power Conditioner Sufficient?


Is a 12 AWG mains power cable adequate for use between the wall outlet and power conditioner? Low-powered components such as streamer and DAC as well as a subwoofer will be connected to the power conditioner. The integrated amp will go directly to another wall outlet.

Yes.  That's probably thicker than what's in your wall, which is most likely 14 gauge, unless you have a 20 amp circuit. You can't make the 14 gauge in your wall suddenly perform better with thicker gauge wires.

If you want to overkill a little, sure go ahead and get 10 gauge, but I'd be careful overspending.
