| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @poppsg , yes Ohm’s law absolutely comes into play here! I remember those formulas back from school; I really got into that stuff. I’m by no means an expert. I will call you on “It is also true that devices designed to plug into general purpose ou... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @dancarlson10 , really hoping I get that same result with my dedicated lines and I care less about the conditioners after it! I’m so looking forward to it…. As I said above my dealer said “you won’t know what hit you”, and it’s not like he gets ... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @dancarlson10 , that is great that your QB-8 approach worked so well for you. I am really hoping that approach will work for me. AC line conditions and other variables (like how many houses are serviced by a public transformer) will vary from hou... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? See? Tons of opposing but well-informed opinions whenever this topic comes up! So weird that gauge of wire could be such a polarizing topic. There are so many variables that I’m not sure the physics can fully inform the nature of sonic effects ... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @dancarlson10 , that’s totally an option. Since I will have two dedicated lines, I can borrow a demo Niagara 5000, and hopefully a Torus RM20 from another dealer, and if I’m really lucky, a Nordost QB8 (which isn’t a conditioner at all), and I can... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @pwayland , I would love to connect my amp into the wall with no conditioner if that works. Trouble is, my single 15A circuit (which has a few other devices in our house that are all off when my stereo is on) seems to pick up line noise during the... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? So funny how contentious certain unexpected areas can be with our hobby! I’ve seen more than a few smart people all with strong points (at least to a layman like me) pointing to why lower gauge is better, or not. And, it’s amusing how ridiculous e... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? Regarding multiple paths to ground with my two dedicated lines: I’m not sure yet if I will run my amp off one and my sources with a conditioner off another, or if I run everything on one line with a conditioner. I guess it depends on how the amp... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? With 10 AWG vs 12 AWG there seems to be strong differences of opinion. But my electrician had no concerns and said the 10 AWG would offer lower resistance and a lower voltage drop over a longer run which I need. That part is totally accurate and I... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @jea48 , just called the electrician that my dealer directed me to. Very glad you explained the difference in cables to me, thank you! Electrician immediately assumed I would want BX. I explained that no I need the separate ground wire and the ele... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @jea48 , no, it’s mounted vertically - curious, why do you ask? | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @jea48 , thanks and I did see that option in the US Home Depot site, but no similar wire available from the Canadian HD site (only 12 AWG MC). I will ask my electrician for sure. I just want to be prepared first as from what I’ve read, electricia... | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? @thyname , thanks, this is the specific info I was after. Probably costs a ton as it is for audiophile applications though! Looks like you can only get it in 29ft max runs though, at least on TheCableCo. | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? Would this be ideal: https://nassaunationalcable.com/products/10-2-solid-armorlite-lightweight-aluminum-600v | |
| What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines? Thanks all, I checked Home Depot’s site and couldn’t find any solid core 10 AWG wire. I guess an electrical supply shop might have it. Also, I assume I need three conductors including ground? Sorry if that’s a dumb question! I understand the r... |
