Hard to imagine that you could power 4 channels @ 225 ea plus 5 channels @ 100 ea (Ithink that's what the HT-5 delivers off one 15 or 20 a circuit, let alone not have current limiting problems. I would think that each amp should be on a separate circuit. If you need conditioning, you could use a smaller unit at each outlet. BTW, since you seem to have cornered the market on McCormack, give Steve M a shout at SMcAudio (look up email at Manufacturer's Directory). He is usually more than willing to help out customers directly.
Mutlple Amps and a line Conditioner
I have a MAXX (www.maxxproducts.com) line conditioner and really don't know much about it, except I paid a lot when I bought it a couple of years ago. Was recommended by the Audio store here in Manhattan.
Well, I'm going to be running the following equipment from the AC in my home. Any info on (1) if I can plug all of this equipment into the line conditioner? (2) should amps go directly into wall? (3) how much power can an outlet really handle? (4) balanced power compared to isolated power? Help???
2 McCormack DNA-225's
1 McCormack HT-5
1 Elac powered subwoofer
1 Sonance Cinema Sub Amplifier
1 McCormack UPD-1
1 McCormack RLD-1
1 McCormack MAP-1
I realize the line drives and CD player aren't much of an issue, but, what about all the amplifiers?
For those of you wondering why I'm running all of this equipment, well, I'm running two separate systems from the same location since the loft has different mezzanine spaces (one main floor for music and one small mezzanine for movies).
I live in an old NYC loft so I'm left in the hands of my building power which will hopefully be upgraded sometime in the future. My construction will be completed in another couple of months and I don't want to be stuck behind the eight ball when I finally hook up my system.
Thanks for any help you can offer!
