dedicated electrical line

Our electric code requires ground rods at a minimum of 6' apart.

When I read up on power conditioners , I found that they impart their signature or had a sound . Just the same as anything else in the system chain .

I am assuming that you do have some interference problems , or noise , coming from your speakers . Can you identify the culprit ? Is it possible to eliminate the problem during listening sessions by unplugging or turning off the power ? Just a thought .

Good luck .

If 6' is the minimum (between rods) what's max? When does it become a different "ground" and a potential (pun) hazard? My power is fine, just interested.

Dedicated lines may be better and may also be cheaper than power conditioners. I've only heard a few times that conditioners made the sound better, but dedicated lines almost always improve the sound, although the change may be subtle.

Congrats on your Joules- nice amps.

From Rf_gumby: I've only heard a few times that conditioners made the sound better

When I added my power conditioner to my AV setup I noticed an amazing difference to the picture quality and the bass tightend up considerably

When I added one to my hi-fi I noticed much better all around sound - but - I'm still not sure if it is the effect of the conditioning - or the fact that the outlets on the conditioner make a much tighter contact with the plug than than what I had previously been using

I did compare:
1. the amp plugged into the conditioner as opposed to
2. the amp plugged into the wall outlet

and could not detect any audible difference - in both cases Furutech power cable was used

The biggest difference I have found is replacing the wall outlet with hospital/Lab Grade outlets
