Amp straight into the wall
I’ve seen more than a few members recomend going straight into the power oulet and not using power conditioners for power amps. I was hoping someone would explain the rationale behind that.to me. I have been meaning to try that for awhile now, power conditioner is a Torus 15 , thx in advance for your input.
That is simple: it makes a very positive improvement in the sound. Then, next step, put in a direct line to the outlet you have your amp plugged in to (and of course to the outlet your power conditioner is plugged into as well).
The theory is that almost all power conditioners restrict the current in some way. Even most that claim they don’t. Sounds plausible to me. I don’t care if the theory is correct, the effect has been real… it has been true every time I tried it. |
@bikeboy52 As with most things audio, it depends. IF panel, ground, wiring to the wall and the wall outlets, etc. have all been addressed properly AND your amplifiers are a quality design and build THEN, yes wall direct is typically best/better. |
@david_ten Yes circuit is a clean 20 amp home run number 12 romex straight to a hospital grade gound fault receptacle ,amp is Prima Luna Evo 400. Thx , thats a much simpler explanation than I was expecting@ghdprentice thx. |
@ghdprentice P.S read you praise of the AQ cable that you use on your amps the other day ,really wish I could afford one of those, Ive always felt like Im leaving some SQ in there somewhere and feel that would be a good place to start looking, |
