No connection to above. Used as example. Would recommend larger for amp.

Balanced: Derate by half. Connect 120V as 240V, according to label. Connect wires X2 to X3 and X1/X4 will be 60V to ground and 120V between each other.

Been there. Done that. Learned hard way.
Any improvement is inversely proportional to money spent.

Stick to your eardrums! I figure that most of the 110v side gadgets (pc's, big cords, fancy receptacles) are often best thought of as a tax on people who don't understand electronics or the power of suggestion. You might like tubes though. Good Luck!

Yes, he should stick to his eardrums so that he will be able to hear the differences and benefits of power line conditioners, power cables, etc. If he sticks to the "theory" that they can not possibly make a difference, then he has no reason to tax himself beyond a Bose table radio.

Jafox - I think that I should have more strongly emphasized the word MOST, or maybe written 'many' or 'some' instead. If he is using equipment that has marginal internal voltage regulation or if his incoming ac line is very dirty, then a line conditioner can be a good thing. A 'know nada about specifics' blanket condemnation is just as wrong as a blanket reccomendation. Happy Listening!
