Yes you can run a 15 amp power conditioner on a 20 amp circuit. You're not suppose to run 20 amp on 15 amp circuits. I'm not sure what you're talking about with future 20 amp options on an amp. Do you mean 240 volt instead of 120 volt?
Using 15 amp power conditioner and power cords with 20 amp wired outlet.
I’m thinking of having my electrician run a 20 amp dedicated line in place of the existing household line that is in the living room of my 1959 built house and most likely is ungrounded and part of a string of multiple outlets on the same circuit.
I know this has probably been covered many times before and, yes I may check the archives for solutions but thought I would inquire here anyway.
Since I’m going to he trouble of running a dedicated line, I figure I might as well get it to 20 amp specs. In the future I may order a new solid state amp in the 20 amp version for better bass and dynamics.
For now though, I would continue to use my existing 15 amp power conditioner (Bryston BIT-15) and power cords. As far as I know the power conditioner would protect my components and nothing would malfunction as far as I can tell. Please feel free to educate me here.
My future 20 amp upgrades would be a new Bryston cubed series amp with a 20 amp option and possibly moving up to the Bryston BIT-20 power conditioner for better bass, quietness and dynamics potentially with my low impedence Thiel CS-3.6 speakers.
Thanks for any help.

OK, it just means the blades are different on the plug. The two flat blades will be perpendicular instead of parallel. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Legrand-20-Amp-125-Volt-Straight-Plug-PS5366XCCV4/100189052 |
@masi61 I'm sure your electrician knows what 3 wire is. I assume he licensed in your area and knows the local codes. I wouldn't worry about all this banter and reading a bunch on wiring unless you want to tackle it yourself. Let the guy or gal do the job and anything you don't understand I imagine they would be happy to explain. |
