Is there any possibility that plugging amps into PC or PR units degrades SC ? |

I have found the P10 to reveal a lower level of noise overall. Before the purchase 4 years ago I borrowed one for 4 Days and did some intensive listening, through that time it ‘seemed’ like there was a decrease in noise that was most noticeable at the end of Tracks that I was familiar with, but not enough to convince me that it was worth it. The turning point was when I unplugged everything and used regular wall outlets, and a basic surge protector. Listened to the tracks again and realized there was a muddiness consistently present. Thought I was imagining it, so replugged into P10, muddiness was gone. At present all sources with the exception of 2 (Limited by Number of outlets on P10) are plugged into P10. The Amps with exception of one are plugged into HC outlets on back of P10. |

I found the outstanding P10 produced excellent SQ but with many other components plugged into it, the P10 was limiting the power draw of the MC 1.2K. Directly plugging it into the wall compromised SQ slightly but did not limit volume. Now I use the Shunyata Denali 2000/T— best SQ and no volume limitations.

If installing dedicated 20A circuits for mono blocks, is it recommended to install them on opposite legs? Does this mean to have the lines come from opposite sides of the panel? I have read that I want to keep the lines, that feed my equipment, on the opposite side of the panel as my refrigerator, and other noisy appliances. I am asking, because I am having a 200A panel upgrade, as well as three dedicated 20A circuits, installed tomorrow (2 lines will go to the individual outlets of a Hubbell duplex receptacle, and the other is to be shared on a second duplex outlet, for the preamp and sources). As this stuff is beyond my understanding, I am trying to come up with a simple list of instructions for the electrician, in order to make the install audio friendly, and eliminate any potential noise in the system. I apologize to the OP, and can start a separate thread, if this is too far off topic. |

I'm not sure if it's right thing to do or not but it's worked out well in my case. My thinking was to even out the load and not to tax one leg of the 240 more than the other. What you have planned sounds like a good idea to me to keep the noisy appliances on their own half of the 240. |

I have the MC1.2K’s as well - do you now plug these amps and other components into the Denali? |
