PS...somehow missed your statement that you ran the new dedicated line "alongside" a prior dedicated line...sorry...but: if the wires are alongside each other, and power is being fed by both at the same time, guess what? Their magnetic fields are interfering with each other thru their entire length. Space them by 6 inches...it will absolutely help.
Am I hearing things?
I just an extra new dedicated line run beside the other one. with 10 gauge wire, 30 amp breaker and a 20 amp rated outlet. I don't think it sounds as good!!! What the hey. A little shrill in both vinyl and CD. I'm comparing from what it sounded like last night. Does electricians wire, breaker and outlet have to burn in? Am I alone in this. I'm have a whole system AC but in and the temp got up to 80. Maybe that is why. Also I'm listening at 11 am EST. So the power grid may have an affect. Did I just answer my own question or have other people experienced this. The original dedicated line was put in in 03 with 12 gauge wire, 20 amp breaker and a 15 amp outlet. Are these 2 lines picking up interferrence?

jea48 . I looked downstairs in the electrical panel and no and nowhere is there a 15, 20, 25, or 30.marked on the breakers. Is there a secret code electricians use? I goggled it and no help. What would make a breaker trip with my audio hooked up. The only thing that tripped in my house was the outlet with the microwave and blender going at one time. I've had the 600 watt amp for 6 years with nothing tripped there so I should be ok. Right? |
I looked downstairs in the electrical panel and no and nowhere is there a 15, 20, 25, or 30.marked on the breakers. Is there a secret code electricians use?The ampere rating should be on the ON/OFF breaker handle. Sometimes it’s printed on the face of the breaker. The ampere rating should be visible on the front of the breaker for the user to see. What manufacture electrical panel do you have? Example. 20 amp breaker. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Square-D-QO-20-Amp-Single-Pole-Circuit-Breaker-QO120CP/100028706 15 amp breaker https://www.homedepot.com/p/Square-D-Homeline-15-Amp-Single-Pole-Circuit-Breaker-HOM115CP/100153952 20 amp breaker https://www.ebay.com/p/GE-THQL-THQL1120-1-Pole-20-Amp-Circuit-Breaker/2254530853https://www.homedepot.com/p/Siemens-20-Amp-Single-Pole-Type-QP-Circuit-Breaker-Q120U/100044919 Did you find the breaker/space panel numbers for the 2 dedicated circuits for your audio system? What to look for. In the majority cases the odd numbers are on the left side of the panel and the even numbers on the right side. Example. Single phase 120/240 Volt panel. L = Line, Leg, Bus. Left side ...........................................Right side L1.. breaker/space #1) ........ breaker/space #2) L2 .. breaker/space #3) ......... Breaker/space #4) L1 .. #5) ............................................... #6) L2 .. #7) ............................................... #8) L1 .. #9) ............................................... #10) L2 .. 11) ............................................... #12) And so on down each side of the panel |
