Very educational and will help with planning how you run all of your AC connections. Most big McIntosh systems take less average power than a Plasma TV in normal use.

Thanks,
My 501s combined pull about 1A, less than my Pioneer 111FD plasma.

Are the PPPs plugged into the Duets?

My amp is plugged into a Panamax 20 amp surge suppresor on a dedicated 20 amp line. All my other gear (cd, turntable, preamp, blu-ray, subwoofer,) is plugged into a Panamax Max 5510 power conditioner plugged into my living room circuit. I'm ready for another one of our typical Arizona thunderstorms. And we do get them in July and August!

I was considering a PS Audio Power Plant Premier/ As I always do,before spending a decent amount of cash on gadgets. I called PS Audio and pryed a bit. Nothing is worse than laying out money and in a few months an impoved version is released. I'd suggest waiting on a PPP. I think we'll see an improved model in a few months.

Also look into PurePower. This is similar to PPP but with added battery power, which will supply extra current during dynamic peaks.

I would consider giving them a try but then Jeff would really know I'm cloning his system.
