Can too many components on one outlet affect the sound of an amp?


I am running a few amps, a receiver, tv and a few more components on the same outlet. I am using a power conditioner. My main issue is - I recently noticed that when I'm only running my McIntosh MC275, a pre-amp and a cd player, I seem to be getting better bass compared to having more components on. Is it just my imagination? Or is it possible? Everything is running on a 15 amp circuit.

Depending on the state of your electric service, you could also be experiencing voltage drop. You might want to measure your voltage at the outlet - both with and without load.

Do you mean that your safety ground does not connect to the service panel's ground bus? If so, that is extremely dangerous and absolutely does not meet code, at least in the US.
