dedicated electrical line


I recently read somewhere that a dedicated electrical line is recommended for some tube amps because of the amount of current they can draw. I have Joule VZN 100s on the way. My home was renovated about 10 years ago - new electrical system was installed at that time.Should I be concerned - not looking forward to trying to explain this one if a dedicated line needs to be installed.

You don't *need* to install a dedicated line. The amp will run fine as long as you don't have a bunch of other equipment or appliances plugged into the same circuit.

On the other hand, a dedicated line typically will *improve* your sound, and many folks consider having several dedicated circuits providing power to our audio systems to be a starting point for achieving the best sound possible in a given system.
