Tell me you're not really plugging your power amp and preamp into the same power circuit? Do you have no shame? It's a major, no make that mega-major no-no. I'm surprised it hasn't made your system unlistenable. If you continue with this sordid behavior you will be dragged out of your apartment, taken to a public square and beaten with power cords. I harumph you!
Amp and preamp on same outlet?
Just how much of a no-no is this? ARC goes as far to print in their manual to say to have the amp and preamp on their own circuit. I live in an apt. and I'm forced to have both plugged into the same outlet. Cords just don't reach....How much sound quality is lost by doing this? It sounds great as is, but is there a major detriment to this? I'm curious.
