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...)

Drubin, Go to doubleed.com and check out their "wattsup" device. This unit plugs into the wall and then your amp plugs into this unit. Turn on the "Wattsup" and then turn on your amp. This unit measures the power consumption of your amp. It can also calcuate the cost of electricity. Pretty need stuff. I saw one at Fry's electronics for $80.00. Have fun.
