Amp and preamp on same outlet?

;-) sounds good to me!

Incandescent. Usually off when I listen.

Thanks guys- I have an LS-17 and HD220 plugged into a 20 amp line, unfortunately, this line is shared with my kitchen. This line also has the high hat lighting on it. The source equipment, is plugged into the conditioner, which is on different 15 amp circuit, around the corner on another wall. I wasn't happy with what the conditioner did to the sound of the LS 17. I tightened up the sound but made it too analytical, and lost tonal bloom.

I might try the extension cord and see what happens. But then the extension Cod may foul up the sound.

You're right. I did plug the preamp into the other circuit and had no improvement, albeit, I did use an extension cord, which did muddy the sound. But the experiment did prove that it's nothing to be worried about. My system sounds terrific.

hello,

As per my manual:

A.C. POWER CONNECTIONS: It is important that the HD220 be connected via its supplied 20 amp IEC 12-gauge power cord to a secure, dedicated A.C. power receptacle. Never connect to convenience power receptacles on other equipment. Only use the power switch on the front of the HD220 for On/Off control of the amplifier, or the 12V start- up trigger for remote installations.
The AC power source for the HD220 amplifier should be capable of supplying 10 amperes for 100 or 120 volt units, or 5 amperes for 220 or 240 volt units.
For the very best performance on domestic 100 or 120 volt circuits, the HD220 should be connected to its own AC power circuit branch, protected by a 15 amp breaker. The preamplifier and other audio equipment should be connected to a different power circuit and breaker.

I have been not been up to date on this thread, because I've been enjoying the music too much! This statement is found in other models in the ARC range.

Cheers
