Power problems


I recently upgraded my amps and speakers and noticed that when I turn up the volume, the lights in the room dim (flicker). I assume that I need to run a dedicated circuit for my system now?? Also, not only do the lights dim, but the music seems to cut out at times, especially when playing vinyl. Is there danger of damaging anything by continuing to use the system?

Um, you really need to get a licensed electrician to as-build your wiring system. No mention of: the age of the dwelling, or what your current service rating is.

I'd start by having a utility tech come out and take a look at the service plus the branch circuit distribution panelboard and give you a description. This should be a freebie.

For a free guess, I'd say: knob-'n-tube wiring, 50A service, 70-80 yr old dwelling.
