Shouldn’t Do This, but…

@asvjerry Yeah, when I mentioned the NEC citation the landlord became defensive. Also, from looking at the NEC website, it states that they do not determine laws but that some laws are in accordance. Different states have laws of their own. To find out for certain, I need to contact the building department for Cincinnati. The landlord recently purchased the building and did renovations. It is clean, seems structurally sound, quiet and inexpensive for the amount of space that I have. So I’m certainly not interested in moving out two weeks after I’ve moved in. Like I said previously, a Ground Zero lithium generator would be a step up and I only need to power my front end and ESL’s, as my power amp runs on two power supplies and a battery. I think the generator can be had for around $400.00.

So will you be putting the Cruz First Maestro receptacle on the Goal Zero Li generator?

@goofyfoot taking a different tact that I did earlier in the thread, I agree that the outlet matters little or none, so long as the existing outlet is in good shape and makes good contact, i.e., not loose.

I’m not familiar with the battery pack you are using but 2 things: 1. you are at the mercy of the inverter so if it doesn’t have a good inverter, you’re not doing yourself any favors. 2. if it is plugged in while you are using it, you will generally be running off a cheaper power supply that is the charger. So you’ll have to turn off the charger while you use it.

@carlsbad2 Here's a review of the charger, https://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/0119/Goal_Zero_Yeti_400_Lithium_Portable_Power_Station_Review.htm

@noromance If it's easy to install the Maestro in the charger, then yes, I probably will install it though I'm not sure how much of a difference it would make.
