Amp and preamp on same outlet?

Jea48- Save the bandwidth. He's not listening. Or he can't read. Or he believes that the building and electrical code writing authorities are conspiring w Bose to make us listen to inferior sound ;-)

Ralph- The guy just does not get it. He's talking how he think it sounds, you and Jim are talking electrical safety codes and specifications.

Audiolabryinth- Even if were true that the larger breaker is somehow making your system sound better (I'm betting the recommendation from Krell came about like Jim theorizes, but let's put that aside. What do you think might happen if there is a short or other failure downstream of the 30 amp breaker, such that there is a long term "demand" for more than 20 amps but less than 30 amps? I'm no ee, but my guess is that there is a reasonable possibility that the house wiring, or receptacle, or power cord downstream of the breaker, will overheat, unless they are ALL also rated for 30 amps. What happens after that? I'll give you a hint, you can't shout it in a crowded theater. If your insurance co. is diligent, they'll hire a forensic ee like Jim, who will tell them that you modified your electrical system in a manner that is unsafe and does not meet code. Then your insurance company will say, "thank you" to Mr. EE and "go pound sand" to Mr. Audiolabyrinth. CLAIM DENIED. Of course, there's also the possibility that the insurance co wont' be talking to you, they'll be talking to your heirs. It's your call, dude. They are looking out for you. Do you think Krell gives a rats a$$ about you?

I found that a solid copper plug beats any of those fancy audiophile fuses!

Jmcgrogan2- Because they don't draw as much current as that big ol' Krell arcweld...I mean amp...SETs often sound better with an NOS 1909 s vdB Lincoln copper penny than w the copper plug. I find that the difference between that and the 1924 Lincoln copper to be well worth the additional $1500-$2K. Of course, you've got to be very careful inserting the pennies; if you scratch them their value on the Coiniogon drops dramatically. When scratched, they're not work a " plugged" nickel!

"Far better than any penny you have ever heard Michael."

I beg to differ; the NOS stamped pennies have better imaging and micro-detail than those Far East-sourced OEM cast plugs. It's actually a gnat taking the whizz on the second chair cellist. I can clearly hear the up and down pitch characteristic. For a typical fly, with a much lower incidence of BPH, you have a single steady pitch note. And it's 18" further to the right.
