It's hard for me to explain, too. But, let's say you're replacing a power supply for your laptop or something. You need one with exactly the same voltage, probably 19, but the amps doesn't need to be exact. When the laptop says the power supply is "19V, 5A max," it means 5 is the max amps the device will ever use. So a 19V, 10A supply won't hurt it. The only reason it would draw more power, measured in watts, which is volts x amps, is if there were a short inside the unit, or maybe you attached a 32V supply, or something. In that case, the fuse will burn, cutting all power. Putting a larger fuse in your amp won't supercharge it. It only puts the component in danger. It's like bungy jumping off a bridge and adding 30 feet to the cord so you'll have a longer ride.
Power cable education needed
Hi everyone. I need some education on power cables. I have been reading that a good power cable is vital to a good sounding system. If that is true wouldn’t the companies the make the components include a good power cable to insure their product sounds the best that it can ? Should I evaluate the power cables in all of the components in my system?
