I have a pair of Emotiva XPR-1's They require a dedicated 20 amp. circuit to reach full potential. Tried them both on a single 15 amp circuit first and then on dedicated 20 amp circuit.Even at low listening levels the dedicated circuit sounded better.Also what is a fellow to do as most power conditioners I can afford only have a 15 amp input. I'll tell you what, plug the suckers into the dedicated 20 amp circuit, like the manufacturer suggests and be done with it. Lol.
Monster Regret!!
Good morning to the community! Years ago, when I was much younger and a whole lot dumber, I bought into all the Monster cable hype. I even went as far as purchasing their Monster Power AVS 2000 voltage stabilizer and HTS 5000 reference power center. I’m currently saving my ducats for a PS Audio DirectStream Power Plant 15 and intend to install a dedicated line shortly.
I am listening to Martin Logan 11As driven by PS Audio BHK 300 monoblocks. I have the amps connected via a normal 120v home outlet. My question, should I use the Monster Power stuff for my speakers, pre/pro, etc. or go to another outlet directly to the components?
Many thanks!
