Why do I need power management if I have a great power cord?

@ditusa thanks, I understand how a home circuit panel works. I have no reason to make this up. I got a crazy high electric bill and I asked my friend who was the vice president of engineering for a large electrical firm why my bill was so high. He came by the house switched around some wires in the panel and said everything would be fine and let them know. The next time my bill came it was approximately half. I asked him what I had done wrong and he explained to me that my electric meter reads the higher of the two phases  and that is why my bill was out of whack I was drawing 80% of the current I was using on one phase. Then he said that’s why things that draw a lot of current like air conditioners stoves etc. are always 220 v So that you never have to have that issue. They draw an equal amount of power from both phases. I promise you I’m not making this up and I saw it firsthand.

Sorry guys, I didn’t mean to get off track but I guess I did. I’ll shut up now

The problem with this kind of pissing contest is that everybody gets wet and nobody's happy.

@raysmtb1,

All good!😊

Basic physics.  Everytime you double the size of a conductor, you reduce the resistance of the conductor by half.  Output impedance is the product of LCR.  Reducing any aspect of the impedance allows the available current to increase (the current well).  Instantaneous power demands in audio are not often spoken about.  Take the Telarc recording of the 1812 Overture as an example.  Someone smarter than me did the calculations on the reproduction of the cannon shots in that recording.  To accurately reproduce that event considering the average listening level of 2 watts would require 10,000 watts of instantaneous power.  Point of the exercise was to illustrate the power demands on a musical system.  I don't know of any presently available amplifier to produce that type of current dump.  If there was an amp capable of  that considering that most amplifiers (not talking class D here) are somewhere between  50%, - 78% efficiency.  Do the math.  The power distribution cable from the transformer to the entry service is #2 wire.  It just makes sense, logically and mathematically, to supply a dynamic system with huge instantaneous current demands as much current as possible.  A Class A PASS XS300 monoblock will dump 48A on demand.  You need two of these.  See where this is going?  

Solid state systems are current hogs.  Ever feed a hog?
