For those of you that are hell bent on using a 30 amp circuit connected to a 20 amp receptacle in violation of all electrical safety codes why are you limiting yourselves to using a 30 amp breaker? Why not stick a 60 amp breaker in the panel in place of the 30. Hell, better yet, eliminate the bottle neck breaker all together and tie the hot conductor for the branch circuit directly to the HOT bus on the panel.
And for even better performance of the Krell amp eliminate all fusing inside the amp. Talk about a bottle neck, can you imagine all the electrons being forced to get into single file to pass through that small little wire inside the fuse. Let them run free....
It's about time you came around with some quality audiophile suggestions Jim!! That's how I have things wired up in my home. Get them stupid fuses out of there altogether! I found that a solid copper plug beats any of those fancy audiophile fuses!
Also ALL circuit breakers, 20A, 30A, 60A, 100A interfere with the quality of the sound....PERIOD!! I have my hot conductor soldered directly to the hot buss on the panel, just as you suggest (using high purity silver solder of course). This is the ONLY way to go! The sound is much more open, lively and engaging.
In fact, I even took it a step further, and tied the panel buss directly to my amps power supply, eliminating silly connectors and outlets!! This is heaven! The sound is so pure you would not believe it!!!
Keep up the great advice!! ;^)
Cheers,
John
