I am looking forward to the 3.6 XO upgrade/revision too. Please keep us CS3.6 owners updated. jasx67...I don't consider myself having audiophile knowledge, but I do consider myself having audiophile ears. I am acquiring quite a bit of knowledge on...

A definite, noticeable, small incremental improvement with the dedicated circuit. I was skeptical because I thought the PS Audio P10 should be able to produce near perfect power from what comes through most any wall outlet. Voices and instruments ...

Done! 20 amp breaker. I went with Romex 10/2 from junction box to a single Porter Port outlet which was a little frustrating manipulating the 10 gauge solid copper connections. I decided against 2 outlets at this time since all my gear is connecte...

Reading this thread is a highlight of my day. Tom, now you have made me very curious about the internal upgrades you mentioned. How many times were the CS3.6s upgraded? My CS3.6 SN #4789 and 4790 were produced 5/22/96.

After all this and watching the YouTube link, I am more confused. If I do the work, I think I will use the 10/3 wire that is in place already, but change the 30 amp twin breaker to a 20 amp single breaker only using one of the hot cables and cappi... 
Help with DIY dedicated circuit
pbnaudio....the physical wire connections are not what I'm asking about. I am comfortable with that. I'm asking whether to use the 30 amp twin breaker and the 10/3 cable that is currently in place (too short to reach wall outlet) with a piggytail ...

So I will change the 30 amp twin breaker to a 20 amp twin breaker. If I install two 20 amp Porter Port outlets and use 1 hot of the Romex 10/3 to each outlet (red and black) sharing the common white wire, will that defeat the purpose of having 2 d...

It is definitely a 30 amp twin breaker with 10/3 (orange) Romex. Do I need to change it to a 20 amp breaker? Is it ok to use the 10 gauge wire with the 20 amp breaker to a 20 amp Porter Port outlet?

I'm very happy with mid level Synergistic Research Cables, both the Tesla T3 power cables and Tesla Accelerator speaker cables. I have purchased these on the preowned market for reasonable prices. Also, I might need a little electrical physics exp...

I thought about purchasing this PX02 Thiel passive XO that is made for my CS3.6 (just in case) or a CS6, but I'm so happy with my bass that I can never invision me needing a sub. Does anyone know what it would take to change this PX02 to work for ...

I can vouch ronkent's remarks. I run all my gear through a PS Audio P10 and it makes a noticeable difference. Voltage into the P10 fluctuates and voltage out is steady....it regenerates the power but does not condition it.
