Amps In Wall Or Conditioner?
I have a Coda #16 power amp and upon arrival I immediately plugged it into the PS Audio P15 regenerator since it has made my source and lower power components all sound better. I did not realize what that amp could do until one day I plugged it straight into the wall. Wow what a difference it made and I mean night and day. The Coda came alive like I had not heard it and the P15 was showing only 25% draw from all of my components plugged into it. Tomorrow my electrician is coming to install a dedicated line from the panel to my listening room and I am expecting another bump in quality sound which is already outstanding. |
If power supplies cleaned out all incoming AC then they'd be pretty much standardized by now, which none are. No two make are alike. Most are built to a price point or with the belief by the designer that they are only intended to do one thing and that by going by the book, the problem is solved. That has never been the case. All the best, Nonoise |

do not put the dedicated line (s) on separate legs of the main panel. Rather get motors on the opposite leg e.g. freezer, fridge, AC, furnace. When you spec the wire size, get the max the electrician can correctly terminate. The marginal cost to upsize to max is normally pretty low. Next get any switch mode aka wall wart power supply items on the PC, preferably on dedicated line. Depending on the quality level of your DAC it may need go on PC “ dirty “ circuit. Listen is the test. Cheap DACs lacking a Faraday cage normally find themselves on the dirty side. then listen and experiment w remaining analog gear. |
