Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers?
@immatthewj Said: I guess if one was to run Romex straight out of the wall and connect it to a IEC connector and connect one’s gear to household AC in that manner, that would be the best solution? Not really. It would merely be an extension of...

I consider @erik_squires the Audiogon resident expert on Furman power conditioners. He has more knowledge than I on Furman power condioners technologically. @erik_squires is better qualified than I to answer your question regarding the design and ...

@erik_squires  Good call.  
Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers?
Do power cable have to have UL certification? Just curious No law that I know of. As for NEC...  NEC code stops at the outlet cover plate of the wall outlet. I am pretty sure there is audio equipment made and sold in the US that is not Listed... 
Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers?
@atmasphere @jea48 Just so you know, solid core wire for a power cord is illegal and for a good reason! On that account, I’m pretty sure your statement above isn’t correct. Yes, a single solid core #14awg or a single solid core #12awg wire, o...

Agree.  
Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers?
Power cords are (mostly) three runs of stranded copper wire with PVC insulation, twisted together (sometimes with filler material for damping), and encased in a PVC jacket. The main variables that affect power transmission are the wire gauge, shi...

I think I would plug it into the analog. My reasoning is based on the linear power supply in the AVR. You can always try it both ways. Listen for differences. Marantz SR7015 Look at the photo of the power transformer inside of the AVR. Power tr...

@erik_squires said: Generally speaking, @jea48 is right about not mixing breakers. Technically speaking, if you are mixing breaker brands the breaker has to be "listed" as being tested with the other maker’s panel. I believe this has to do wit...

@signaforce Said: OK, my decision has been made. I am sold on the AR features. I will purchase the Furman P 2400 AR vs the 1800 for the following reasons: . 4. The captive (why captive?) PC is 12GA vs 14GA for the 1800 Problem... The Furma...

@mswale said: One question I do have abut dedicated circuits, is it worth the extra money to get magnetic breakers over the cheap other ones? I assume you mean the circuit breakers in an electrical panel. The breakers in the electrical panel a...

@mitch2 said: Speaking of voltage regulation, any difference between this and this, other than $1,400? It seems 15A should mostly be enough for digital front end, if not all front end components. Probably fine. Loads are constant therein not f...
