Dedicated circuits


I just completed installing 2 dedicated circuits. After reading several threads here, I went with 30 amp breakers with 10 AWG wire with high end receptacles. One circuit for the amp and the other for everything else. I’m blown away by the difference. Tighter bass, not as bright, better imaging and soundstage. Should have done this long ago.

Thats what I was thinking also, the 30A breaker won't kick off and that could possibly damage something and/or be a fire hazard.

I honestly do not see any meaningful advantage with utilizing a 30 amp breaker. I can understand that psychologically (More is always better mindset) it being seen as beneficial. In terms of actual sound quality performance I can see no superiority over a 20 amp alternative.

@eric_squires Thanks for the valuable feedback. I should have known better. 20amp breakers are now installed. 

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll swap out the 30 amp breakers for 20 amp.

Smart move! 30 amp breakers require 30 amp plugs.
