Here is a simple solution. Look on the back of the power amp, and pre-amp or in the manual. The wattage will be listed for each component in either Watts or VA. of consumption. If all else fails call the manufacturer ask them the Wattage of the peice then simply add it all up. Jan Olsen
How can I measure power draw?
Is there a simple way to measure how much power my components are drawing from the wall? My interest is prompted by experimenting with the PS Audio Power Plant and various conflicting info about how much it draws. (The answer I'd love to get is that there is a Radio Shack box I can stick in between the DUT and the wall, but you tell me...)
