20amp v 15amp
I'm the furthest thing from an engineer so layman's terms would be appreciated. A friend of a friend has an Audioquest Niagara 5000 he's looking to move quickly. The 5000 requires a 20amp power cord, which is fine; I'm happy picking one up. My outlet is only rated for 15amps. My question is, will I only really benefit if I replace the 15amp wall outlet with a 20amp wall outlet?
a good read: 15 AMP VS 20 AMP OUTLET I think you should also consider the max wattage draw of your audio system. up to 1800 watts for a 15 A and up to 2400 watts for a 20 A
investing in a good power conditioner can help with overall system performance. I've explained it quite a few times already. |
