Amp and preamp on same outlet?


Just how much of a no-no is this? ARC goes as far to print in their manual to say to have the amp and preamp on their own circuit. I live in an apt. and I'm forced to have both plugged into the same outlet. Cords just don't reach....How much sound quality is lost by doing this? It sounds great as is, but is there a major detriment to this? I'm curious.

the stock cord female end is labeled as 16 amps. the conversation was a noisy 5 minute phone call. He was implying I assume, that the cord could handle spikes. If he actually said 20 or 30 now I can't recall. I didn't pay much attention to this as I was calling him about the status of my Music Reference Amp.

What was of interest to me and the part I did pay attention to was how the breaker worked. Not just by heat but with the signal itself. Very interesting.

He said he thought the internal breaker might be 20 he's not sure and has only had to replace one. I did not ask him to confirm. Myself I would assume the breaker is going to be the same rating as the cord. He was very much against installing a 30 amp breaker in the fuse panel if the line is 20 amps. This part I remember and I made that clear in the previous post.

the female end of the Krell cord is unlike any of my other gear and has horizontal bars like this

Ct0517, the specified $11,500.00 is also the cost of the amp I paid before all the modds and refurbishment,the modd job was with shipping back and fourth, buying two pallets 2 diferent times, krell kept the first one and sent one back half the size of the original, so I bought a new full size pallet,straps 2 different times, fork lifts damaged the first 4 straps, $4,000.00 total for me, shipping the amp was $300.00 one way, and the amp went to krell a few times!, the actual cost I paid to krell was $3,157.38!, so wih the purchase of my amp, all the shipping, all the material to ship with, you damn straight I have $11,500.00 into this amp!, also, I do NOT have a 20 amp line, I have a dedicated 30 amp line, 30 amp breaker, copper 10 awg romex 3 conductor line,and yes I did get NONE oem brand caps, tweaked power supply, alot of new transistors, new heat sensors on both sides of the amp, 6 of them, 3 for each side, etc..., I have a huge bag of the old parts!, and I got new proccesors on each side of the amp, also, I am tired of telling all of you that the 30 amp single pole breaker made a huge difference in sound and the operation of my amp, I care less what any one says, all those that have done this convinced me to use the 30 amp breaker, it works great, again, with NO issues, BTW, I also renewed the cosmetics on the out side of my amp too.
