Where do you plug in amps ?
My reading of late indicates that some people plug their amps into Power regenerators or conditioners and others prefer to go directly to the wall socket. I've been using an older BPT conditioner for years, but wondering hoe best to to power my MC462. I'm curious what other Mac power amp users do ?

Hi MintakaX,
Have the MC462 plugged into PS Audio P10 Powerplant as well as an Acurus A250. Have the Rotel RB1590 plugged into a Furman Line Conditioner, Both the P10 and Furman are plugged into PS Audio Power Port Classics. Both Outlets also have a PS Audio Noise Harvester. |

You bet, if I built next time the 20Amp lines, box and outlet is what I would do. |

The new P20 looks like another great piece. |

MC1201's plugged into the wall on opposite 120 volt legs and dedicated circuits. My other less demanding Mac amps are plugged into a high current plug of a Belkin conditioner.

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. |

Most amplifier recommendations from users along with manufacturers are directly into the wall unless you have electrical issues that would be detrimental to performance.
