I moved into my house in the Phoenix area not that long ago. I recently had an electrician over to install two Furutech outlets in the area where the prior owner had his stereo equipment. To my pleasant surprise, the two outlets were 20 amp and I have power conditioners plugged into each one. But how can one know what the gauge is for the wire running from the pole (or breaker) through my house?
Power Cables and Wall Sockets
Without knowing for certain, it seems to me that power cables can only be as good as the in-home wiring coming to the wall socket. Is it possible that those who use expensive cables have improved the wiring to the socket? Or is the power from most wall sockets normally excellent, but is limited by conventional power cables?
