My home is a split level and the floor the room (quasi-basement)is on is concrete and is not accessible from below. Neither is it accessible from above as there is no way to fish a new line in. Yes I guess I could take power from inside to the outside of the house and run it 80 feet or so around my home and then bring it back into the house but thats unsightly as well as impractical. And I'll never be convinced that an 80' trench to hide the power line would be worth the benefit of dedicated power. I could move as well buts thats really not an option...
I could move the rig 20 feet to the other side of the room but then I'd have to get super long speaker cables that I'd have to hook up each time I was going to listen as they could not be left out for someone to trip over. I still have to do this with a long power cable but 2 long decently constructed power cables would cost less than comparable 20' speaker cables. I run Acoustic-Zen cables now and 20 footers would be serious money (at least for me)which in my estimation is much more than 2 long power cords.
I can accept that there might be some loss of power "quality" when using long cords but if the new dedicated lines from my box to the outlet is only about 20' and then an addtional 20' power cord right into the component would this not better than running say 80' around the house?
