Am I Killing My Sound?


I am running my system through a monster power HTS 5100 conditioner.    Will the monster power fool me into thinking it sounds better?  

Also, I am in the middle of an upgrade, I ran an 8 AWG four wire copper Romex from the main panel to listening room. Was planning on running 2 120 volt circuits.  So you have 240 volts across both hot wires even though I am not using 240 volts, this splits the current on the neutral.  

  • Do I need to worry about noise because I have 2 separate phases running from the panel to the listening room?  
  • Do I need to be concerned about running mono blocks on separate phases? 
  • If I want to run single phase in the listening room what do I do with four wires in the romex (black, red, white and bare). should I run double ground wires?

You might consider running the 8 ga romex to a sub panel. Then run separate lines from sub panel to your system, all on same phase. You would need a sub panel having 4 spaces to run two lines on the same phase. 

I would only use the power conditioner for your source components. Plug your amps directly into wall outlet.
