Regarding the phono-pre, this is down the line. I currently only use an integrated and a turntable. Which duplex should the turntable be plugged in to?
Not knowing anything about a VPI TT motor I would not plug it into the same duplex receptacle as the amp. That’s just my opinion.
Will a burned-in/not burned-in receptacle make a difference for the turntable motor?
I doubt it. Again, just my opinion.
I don’t know why you couldn’t plug the TT motor into the non dedicated branch circuit receptacle you were using for your entire audio system before. Save the Furutech receptacle for future.
The only thing you might want to check, (and I don’t know if it would mater), is if the old wall receptacle branch circuit is fed from the same Line, leg, in the electrical panel as the new dedicated branch circuit.
You could check it with a volt meter.
Do I need to burn-in each of the 4 receptacles. For instance, just because i’m running a box fan in one receptacle, that is not burning-in the entire duplex, correct?
Yes, each receptacle of each duplex will need to be burned-in, that you want to be burned-in.
Check out the link below. Scroll down the page of the link to the metal current carrying contact guts in side the duplex receptacle.
