I need advice for power cords

oldhvymec150 posts03-01-2020 1:51pmI ran 4 separate 20 amp runs with extra heavy wire into two hospital grade 20 amp double outlets. Looking back I wish I would have run three of them.

You might already have it, Any larger than 12 would have moved it to 25 or 30 amp, Still a single run, but man oh man, what are running, LOL
20s are 2400 watt continues right.. so 4 is real close to 10000 watt continues. I run 3 20 in the house sound room, and 4 15, in the shop, both stereo rich environments. Both can and will exceed 145 db, with a very low THD...Glass is taped in the shop when I'm tinkerin' for sure.
Yup Yup..

Concrete crumblers at you place?

+1 on room! F I R S T!

Think of it this way

Many parts add up to the whole of your delivered sound.

Room dynamics (If the room is poor there’s only so much tweaking the rest can do) I’ve heard great sound from moderate gear in a stellar room and average to poor sound in a poor room from Cadillac gear.

Equipment

Speakers (and placement)

Power (poor where I live and a AudioQuest Niagara helped a lot..did it ever)

The entire Wiring Harness. I think of the Wiring harness as a critical part of the equipment too (from the wall outlet out or in the wall if possible.) That two dollar outlet should be tossed and replaced.

Any 8-12 gauge shielded cords, heavy wires with robust male/female plugs for your power cords are better than an 16/18 gage fifty cent cord. Same goes for speaker wiring. In other words (even far lower cost) beefier wiring makes a difference! My two best cables are the ones into the power conditioner and  into the tube integrated. Gains are a big can of worms debated ad infinitum.

I have a "B" system and got some inexpensive Laspada audio (discounted on ebay too) and what a difference that made. Seriously.

Your hearing. What?
