Electrical question


While playing music I noticed my amp fell from 120 volts to 112 when the wife turned the microwave on…they must be on the same circuit..is that going to damage anything?…

Well honestly I’m really glad to see how this turned out.  Too often I feel like I’m trying to convince people in similar situations not to burn their house down.  laugh Usually it goes like this: 

 

Hi, I'm a new audiophile.  When I play music at really low levels my lights flicker, my wall starts to glow and I think I smell smoke after.  What kind of power conditioner should I get?

And here I thought that most Kitchens have separate, dedicated circuits.   

@vitussl101 - They should now! :) 

@erik_squires  In my kitchen, the lights and dishwasher are on separate circuits with a dedicated outlet that has a high quality  20 amp duplex.  My fridge fairly decent size but vey efficient, shares a circuit with a microwave and an Air Fryer that I can't run together with the MW because it might trip a fuse.  The coffee maker and under cabinet lights are on another circuit.  I wish the builders had put one of the dedicated outlets on the other side of the kitchen, where it would have been put to better use.  Funny thing: when the builders were rehabbing our hundred-year-old building, they did a good job with installing dedicated circuits, anticpating  future needs, but forgot the phone lines.  The condo had one phone line on the wall in the kitchen.
