CAUTION THIS METHOD SHOULD BE DONE BY QUALIFIED PERSONELL.

You can also use an AC volt meter, measure between both neutrals or hots (between both circuits) If it reads more than one or two volts it's out of phase.
Interesting ......... for I did my best to relocate my 'noise' generating devices (dimmers, appliances, misc rheostat switches, etc) to one down leg and my audio (2 dedicated 20amp, 10ga) lines to the other. FWIW, a friend of mine (electrician) recommended this ? no ground loop or other artifact issues that I can tell

Dan, BTW, good post (#6) .......
