Thanks for the suggestion - I had thought of doing this, but was "certain" that doing this represents a fire hazard. I guess working in hospitals for the last 25 years & hearing the rant & rave about mere extension cords - the high-quality good ones - being a fire hazard alone and "chaining" them tantamount to blasphemy (instant hellfire & damnation), mades me a bit suspicious.
Adding a 2nd Power Condition vs. a Newer/Larger 1
OK, I am asking for advice on a current delimma. Currently, my main A/V system - in my "man cave" - is powered by a Monster Home Theater Reference HTS 3600 MkII. A pleasant problem to have - I have plumb run out of outlets. So, my question is:
What is the sonically superior solution? 1) I can either purchase a 2nd power conditioner (hopefully 1 identical to the one I have)...or, 2) just purchase a newer & larger one.
If I choose option 1, what is the best way to prevent potential ground loops? Do I plug it into the same outlet as the first one or into a separate one? 2 conditioners mean some components will have to plug into separate conditioners - how best to figure out which ones to be plugged into which conditioner?
If I choose option #2 - recommendations for a reasonably priced unit with loads of outlets. I am not intending to power one of the 5 NYC burroughs, but I do want the best unit I can afford from a sound reproduction perspective.
Thanks in advance for the quality answers I know I will receive.
