Interesting about the 100A breaker. I have heard that replacing the breakers with actual fuses has a similar effect--with the same amperage rating. You might try it. You would have the protection and perhaps the full sound you have acheived at the expense of convenience. If you do try it--let us know--I might make the same change to my dedicated lines.
dedicated power circuit for amp
I have a mark levinson 336 driving a pair of b&w nautilus 802's. I have run a dedicated 30A circuit for the amp. I used #10 gauge solid wire. I swapped out the 30A breaker for a 100A breaker and the sound improvement is substantial. Deeper bass, more solid, and most of all, a much fuller sound. If I were reading this post right now I'd be thinking the same thing you are. But it's the truth... I am at a loss to explain it. I don't want to leave the 336 on a 100A circuit. So am going to replace the #10 gauge wire with some other wire that is stranded instead of solid. Probably #6 gauge. The run of wire is about 60 ft from fuse box to amp. Any one know who makes/sells really good wire for this type of application, or have any other ideas on why the 100A breaker sounds sooooo much better then the 30A breaker???
Thanks in advance.
