Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue

jumia,

Too me, because I am deep minded that the power feeding our systems is so very important, I would want heavier gauge wire inside the power conditioner. 16 gauge is pretty weak. Not sure what is customary but a power conditioner that handles power amps or large drawing current should have at least 12 gauge up front handling the incoming power.

Perhaps branching out from there to lesser power draw components like Dac's etc.  smaller gauge would be ok.

Now, I don't have any hi-tech education supporting this just my years of experience.

The thing we all need to remember is that it is about the music not about the (electrical) science. There are so many things that can’t be explained by science. The main one being how we hear improvements in sound quality. Can it really be measured? As has been said before, "maybe we do not have the proper scientific equipment to measure"?

Anyway, Jumia I go with what sounds the best to me. And to me, larger gauge wire running from the breaker box through the power cord, power conditioner and finally to our equipment has always sounded better to me.

Now as has been stated there are also many other factors to be considered in improving sound quality. But starting with the basics you are right on.
