@allanblissett I just did the math. I find 18 milliohms difference to be closer to accurate. I think 31 mOhms would be the total R for 10' of 12 gauge.
My math is based on this chart:
Power conditioner wire gauge? Serious issue
So I just figured out that all the 10 gauge wiring I have may be a problem if the power conditioner I use only uses 14 or 16 gauge wires to connect all those outlets you plug into in the back of those devices.
The specs are not part of the description when you buy Power conditioners. Everybody recommends a dedicated 10 gauge wire from the panel but fails to consider what power conditioners use.
Is this a serious problem?

In my system, I have 2 12 guage dedicated lines (one for power and one for signal components). I do not condition the power amplifier, as it sounds MUCH more lively and transient not going the Panamax M5300 PM power conditioner. I do HIGHLY suggest quality recepticles (not just hospital grade). Furutech GTX-D is what I am running right now, butt also had great sound from Oyaide R1 (NOT the SWO series), Cardas, and PS Audio...though the PS Audio is the worst of the lot, but still an improvement. |
Vthokie83 I had a Panamax conditioner and found that it stole power from the amplifiers. Now using a new conditioner which doesn't restrict voltage. If you plug directly into the wall with an amplifier there is always noise coming through if the amplifier can't get rid of it. Plus using precious dedicated outlet spots for the gear is difficult to juggle unless you're willing to commit your wall to an outlet festival. Lots of good outlet suggestions you have. up the road I can see furutech in my future. |
