Jim, what did I tell you before about trying to teach a pig to sing? ;^)
Amp and preamp on same outlet?
Just how much of a no-no is this? ARC goes as far to print in their manual to say to have the amp and preamp on their own circuit. I live in an apt. and I'm forced to have both plugged into the same outlet. Cords just don't reach....How much sound quality is lost by doing this? It sounds great as is, but is there a major detriment to this? I'm curious.

03-08-15: Jea48 It's about time you came around with some quality audiophile suggestions Jim!! That's how I have things wired up in my home. Get them stupid fuses out of there altogether! I found that a solid copper plug beats any of those fancy audiophile fuses! Also ALL circuit breakers, 20A, 30A, 60A, 100A interfere with the quality of the sound....PERIOD!! I have my hot conductor soldered directly to the hot buss on the panel, just as you suggest (using high purity silver solder of course). This is the ONLY way to go! The sound is much more open, lively and engaging. In fact, I even took it a step further, and tied the panel buss directly to my amps power supply, eliminating silly connectors and outlets!! This is heaven! The sound is so pure you would not believe it!!! Keep up the great advice!! ;^) Cheers, John |
FWIW, I have found that Rectangular Solid Core® SA-OF8N® copper fuse slugs offer the best sound by far, especially when used with their Isolated Floating Shield. Far better than any penny you have ever heard Michael. Cris, your 12 9's plug is no match for my fuse slugs, which Gauge size is 000 = an area of 85 Square mm. I can hear a fly take a wizz on the 3rd chair cellist with my fuse slugs!! |
