Buy a "Kill a Watt" P3 volt/amp/watt digital meter on Ebay, <$50.00 USD.
Cheap and lots of fun. About the only inexpensive way to actually check current draw from your audio/videa gear a idle, full power, and anything in between. What is the vampire current draw of your power supply? Why are you using 10ga mains for an amp that draws 200 watts?
Also great to see line voltage in real time. See it slump, see it spike!
I am only a pleased owner of a Kill a Watt. Not involved in the company or have one for sale.
