How can I improve my electric power situation.

My current set up is:
N804's
Krell KAV 300i
Krell 250 cd/2
Ayre QB-9
MD 100 tuner
Shunyata Research Hydra-6
My problem is that my system is too far (25 ft.) from an electric outlet. I am using two long extensions (hardware store) to supply elec. to my components. I live in an apt. and can't do any rewiring. Can I improve this situation?

One thing I have been doing,which I just read about here I think,is to clean my power sockets at the wall with Caig's Deoxit.I took the plug sockets out and cleaned the connections,the wire ends as well.They were oxidised and I heard a noticeable improvement.

Very simple with outstanding results. Hire an electrician and have them install a dedicated, isolated ground 20 amp outlet running 10 aug wire, just make sure the outlet is at least Hospital quality, the outlets are usually red, you will be amazed!!

I have a solution!

Hire an electrician have him install another outlet that they can tie into the existing outlet and place it less than 6 feet from your Shunyata Research Hydra-6

You can buy the material from home Depot or most hardware stores. You'll need 14/2 or 12/2 Romex wire, and a Metal or Plastic Wire Mold Special conduit for install on the wall, and buy a Single gang or Dual gang electric Box from wire mold as well.

Your electrician can make it all work and they can buy all the parts you need as well.

The cost should not exceed more than $250.00

Good luck!

Good Luck.
