two dedicated lines into one duplex outlet

Since # 12 wire is rated for twenty amps why not do four twenty amp circuits?

I hope those hubbels are I.G.?

Be sure an pull a dedicated neutral with each hot.

I would tie all the I.G. grounds together.

One other thing, If it were me personnally I'd use four duplex outlets instead of splitting two in half. I guess I'm a little old fashion.

Zippyy - I don't know about your gear but when i read the owners manual on my stuff practically every piece recommends a dedicated circuit. This is usually for Isolation of AC noise not overload.

PS- I haven't forgotten about you Zig :^)

Since you only have two components I would use two outlets, two dedicated lines and install a parallel filtration device in the spare receptacle. Could be Quiet Lines, Blue Circle Noise Hound, Enacom, Quantum, etc. Don't forget to send the Krell power cord to Cryogenics International and get a Highwire Wirewrap. Things will work out good...

Glen - Why should it matter (isolation noise) if in the end all the power is still coming from one place. Whether you use one circuit or two, it all goes back to the breaker box where all the power is coming from? Also, if like you say, most owners manuals suggest dedicated circuits for each piece of gear, one would never have the need to use any power or line conditioners as this would be putting all the equipment back on the same circuit. Right?

thanks, Glen

I only have two components now, a cdp and a power amp, but i may add other digital and/or analog gear in the future. I may also in the future change to mono amps from a stereo amp. Now if as zippyy says, " why should it matter if in the end all the power is still coming from one place" then i should indeed only have two or may be three lines at the most since it is then not a matter of noise reduction but of current availability only. The noise reduction would then be better addressed post outlet. Does that may any sense? Thanks.
