In 2 days I wil receive The Gate from Marigo. I ordered it (along with Mats+ and Cards) a few days ago. It was the very last one of this seller. Ref. my post https://forum.audiogon.com/users/michael_be .
I have a question on the installation of The Gate. In the breaker panel there are 4 wires coming in: L1 - Neutral - L2 and the Earth. I know that there are 2 wires coming out of The Gate. From what I read, the PPT instructions say that one wire must be connected to the neutral and the other to an unused breaker. This way The Gate sees 110 volts. On some posts it is said that The Gate is connected to a 220 volt breaker, and it even sounds best this way. But in fact for The Gate to see 220 volts, each wire must be connected to a separate breaker, one breaker tied to L1 and the other breaker to L2. So as such a (one) 220 volt breaker doesn't exist in the panel. Could someone help me understand this? Also can The Gate withstand 220 volts?
Thanks,
Michael
