Multi-Outlet with NO Conditioning

My suggestion is to add at least several more dedicated lines to go with those 8 outlets to separate the digital noise (cdp, dac) from analog components, to ensure your amplifier has enough juice, and to keep from overloading the circuit and burning down the house.

Put the amp on one dedicated line, all digital on the second dedicated line, and preamp, turntable, etc. on the third dedicated line.

I appreciate that, Sean. However, if what you say is the strategy Peter_s has chosen, I think my points/concerns are still valid.

I'm all for balanced power and would like to get there myself one day (simply by rewiring everything for 230 volts and continue with my same line conditioners).

However, Peter_s still has the following to deal with:

o Balanced power still does not clean the dirty AC from the pole.

o Bi-directional digital noise continues to be induced into every other component.

o His amplifier (almost relardless of current draw) would be choking for power to reproduce any loud, complex, and/or otherwise dynamic passages. Therebye most likely rendering his listening sessions to a rather flat and lifeless presentation.

o He still risks overloading the circuit.

Other than that, I think it's a great strategy. :)

Thank you, Miss Manners. I'll keep that in mind.

However, Peter_s clearly stated, "Suggestions welcome, please!" And even though he may not have considered receiving suggestions that deviate from his original question (which happens regularly in these forums), the chosen strategy is certainly questionable enough to warrant somebody suggesting his entertaining alternatives. Even if he already had done so.

And by all means, correct me if my suggestions are invalid. But I so happen to think that the suggestions I provided will give him far greater safety and sonic enjoyment than any other suggestion posed thus far. Even if other's suggestions more appropriately answered his question.

I mean, what if the next guy asks for suggestions for a 12 outlet strip for his single dedicated line?

And yes, true balanced power will clean up some of the AC via common mode noise rejection, but as I stated earlier the AC is still dirty coming from the power plant and balanced power will not clean that up.

Can a leopard change it's spots? The obvious answer is no.

Sean, would you please list your system for others to see what you use for reference and what your reference point is?

So I once was your master, but am no longer?

Well, ok.

We'll come back to your posting your system later.

Let me ask you another question: Have you ever listened to a system that utilized Foundation Reserach line conditioners?
