PS Audio built into room circuit?


I've been thinking that I'd like to have the dedicated circuit to my 2 channel room run to the side of the room and place the PS Audio 600 out of the way. Then run a separate line from the PS Audio to an outlet behind the amp, preamp and cd units. I believe that removing the Ps Audio reduces then size and amount of magnetic and electrical field present and might/should improve the sound production. I am concerned that running 10 guage romex to a hospital grade outlet, then using my power cords will reduce the effectiveness of the power cords.

What do you think?

If you want to do something like this, simply run the aftermarket cord of your choice from the PS to the extension outlet. Another option is that there are several companies that make "power strips" that either make use of that company's power cords or have an IEC receptacle for use with the cord of your choice. Sean

I think that the idea behind the PS is that the power being supplied to the equipment is clean, a symmetrical sine wave, free of RFI & EMI, etc... A power cord with similar attributes of RFI / EMI rejection could only help maintain the integrity of what the PS was producing. Using standard Romex type cable would only act as an antenna in my opinion. Something that made use of either heavy shielding or a "self shielding" design like braiding, star quad, twisted pairs, etc... would be more appropriate for something like this. Just my opinion, so take it for what it is worth ( a little bit less than $0.02 ). Sean

Bill, i'm going to be checking into doing something similar but will be using a different approach. Since i have a basement, this might allow me to take the power regenerator out of the room entirely. I'd like to try mounting the power regenerator directly under the other gear on a wall mounted shelf. As such, i might be able to simply slip a short cord up through the floor or even install an outlet in the wall for direct access. Will have to check into this first before doing any surgery, but thought i might pass it onto you or others that might be in a similar situation. Sean
