Laynes, in my previous home, I had a 20 amp dedicated line for my 2.1 system amp and a 15 amp dedicated line for my front line equipment and surround amp. I used a Running springs audio power conditioner for the 2.1 amp. I recommend line conditioning. I also had upgraded, audiophile electrical sockets and upgraded power cables. It blackens your backgrounds. That was the main difference i heard. My audiophile pro recommended the Running Springs Audio because it does not limit the flow of electricity—it just corrects it as it flows through it. Many “power purifiers” tend to limit the flow of peak power, causing clipping of dynamics. So read up on HOW your line conditioner works. I would definitely not put two powerful amps on the same conditioner as well, even if it has two plugs, or 8 plugs or whatever.. And don’t put your frontline equipment on the same conditioner as your amp. My two cents, passed along from my trusted pro.
New Dedicated Line - Almost No improvement
Hello,
Newbie here and electrical idiot. Just moved to a new to us house in Tampa. Before we moved in I had an electrician put in a dedicated line (has it's own breaker switch) which is 10 gauge and two Furutech GTX-D outlets - Rhodium.
When I hooked up the EMI meter in my old house, which didn't have a dedicated line, the reading was usually around 26 or so IIRC. At the new house the outlets are 89 usually and the dedicated line is usually around 82 - so not much help for the cost of the "project" and pretty noisy.
Also, when the ac /hvac is running the meter reads about 100 points higher (!) for both the regular outlets and the dedicated Furutechs. Not good.
Thoughts? Does the dedicated line need it's own breaker box?
I'm also considering a line conditioner but wanted to see what could be done here. Thanks.
