| Good outlet for amplifiers Edit: This armored cable is apparently MC cable. Manufacture calls it Metal Clad. Must be new. I have never seen MC cable with a bare aluminum ground wire. Junk for feeding audio equipment, imo. I doubt very much that’s what you have. No way tha... | |
| Good outlet for amplifiers I think this is the armored cable used. I hope not... That’s AC armored cable. Commonly called BX cable. Hopefully yours in MC, (Metal Clad) Cable https://www.southwire.com/wire-cable/metal-clad-cable/armorlite-type-mc-isolated-ground/p/MC40 ... | |

| The last 20 years of Home Power Have Been Amazing I think the First Surge claims to react within a nano second. Ya, but what will be the clamping voltage for your installation? . The amount of time it takes electricity to travel 12 inches. The length of the wires looks longer than 12 i... | |
