| AC Power I had a dedicated line installed. Better sound, less noise. Very happy. Good to hear. . | |
| AC Power @erik_squires said: Of course, always follow the rules, but the 30’ requirement AFAIK is to avoid excess current that is too high for the AIR (current interrupt rating) of panel breakers. Not the breaker... The minimum AIR interrupting rating ... | |
| AC Power The Furman specs for the 2400 are: 10 ft. captive 3/12 AWG, black cord with NEMA 20 plug. Mine is still gathered, as I only needed 3 feet, but would think 10’ is accurate. 10 ft. captive 12/3 AWG, @signaforce define gathered. I would not... | |
| confused about 20 amp power cables Food for thought. . Dynamic Headroom. @almarg Said: 02-08-2010 at 08:00am It refers to the ability of an amplifier to deliver a greater amount of power on brief musical peaks than the amount of power it is rated to deliver continuo... | |
| AC Power Point is, no, grounding to a copper water pipe is no longer considered best practice. You want to run a copper wire and bond it to your house ground. The outside grounding block, which your cable installers put in already has this. Don't co... | |
| confused about 20 amp power cables @erik_squires said: Check the fuse rating on the back of your amp. It’s probably a lot less than 20A. :) I don’t have access to the manual but I saw an image which specified 1500W on the back. This should be around 12 Amps. A 15A circuit is gene... | |
| confused about 20 amp power cables @williewonka said: A single receptacle installed on an individual branch circuit shall have an ampere rating not less than that of the branch circuit. True, not less than. The single receptacle installed on an individual branch circuit can hav... | |

| Member Almarg passed away last night I also miss Al. I miss our friendly back and forth discussions. I learned a lot from Al. I can remember, a couple of times, where @geoffkait ruffled Al’s feathers, LOL. | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? This is a keeper. 1971gto455ho 520 posts 03-15-2025 at 06:20pm Such BS for the supposedly educated elderly. Perhaps marketing thinks many are lonely, ignored, and have little more than hobbies to pass their time away. So n... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @immatthewj said: @jea48 , but I thought that what I was getting out of this discussion was that the reason after market cords could be an improvement was due to less voltage drop. Which made me think that the voltage drop to be concerned about ... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? In other words, eliminate (a) the amp’s IEC receptacle, (b) the power cord, and (c) the wall receptacle altogether. No, that could create another problem. No power disconnecting means at the hard wired piece of equipment. A plug and receptacle ... | |
| Question for Atma-sphere, will expensive power cables improve your amplifiers? @devinplombier Actually Romex, (NM sheathed cable), can be exposed per NEC. Not exposed down a wall to feed a wall outlet though. NEC requires NM shall be protected from physical damage. (Would 14/2 or 12/2 NM cable be protected from physical d... | |
| 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... | |
| AC Power 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 ... |
