Amp ac cable connection

Nice post, psinyc. Glad your Shunyata is working well for you.

Just out of curiosity, do you have a dedicated line feeding that receptacle?

It is not a dedicated outlet but the pc is plugged into the wall and the other outlet is vacant.

I agree i have Audience 6TSSDOX with 20 amp breaker 2400 watts I'm using Pass 350.8 350 per ch sounds a little more dynamic into the wall but detail,definition,bass detail,stage,highs are worse.Good call and great observation i agree 100% enjoy good luck.

... I am talking about the products that serve as intermediaries between the wall receptacle and the equipments’ power cords that claim to provide surge protection via sacrificial MOVs (90%+ of them I estimate) ...

MOV devices get a bad rap here. Without wading into that controversy, an MOV does not inherently limit normal current.  (Obviously, they are designed to limit surges.) Some AC protection or conditioning devices are blamed for having a negative effect on audio quality, so many audiophiles blame "current limiting" for that. In practice, most don't actually limit current when properly used.

What constitutes proper use is also the subject of some debate. For components such as isolation xformers, I wouldn't use them at more than half of their rated capacity, especially when connected to a power amplifier.
