need more POWER


I have an area for HT that has only one 20 amp receptacle . It currently

has an integrated amp using one outlet and a cheap power strip plugged

into the other outlet . The power strip is powering a flat screen tv and an electric

clock . 

I want to add an amplifier to the pre/out of the integrated amp . How can I get

sufficient power to the second amp ? I am not sure if a power strip can deliver

the power that an amplifier (SS or tube) will require for proper operation plus

the other items .

 

Thank you .

Focusing on HT, one 20 amp outlet should be plenty.  The good news is since it is 20amp, it should be 12 gauge from the breaker box.  

Focus on heavy power cables downstream of the wall outlet.  

"power strip" is a dirty word in audiophile circles.
