elizabeth. Yes that is what i would do if i could , I would use my dedicated 20 amp quad circuit also for my cdp. But unfortunately that quad dedicated 20a circuit is right in back of my amp and preamp. My cdp is a distance from that quad circuit. So thats why i have to put in another dedicated line for the cdp. So i will then just put in a 20a dedicated line with the Furutech GTX-d-r . |
Thanks.... Just bought a couple of Furutech GTX -D -Rhodium from a very nice seller on here. Will be buying at least 1 more from him . |
BTW...I bought them from apolloav , very nice guy and seller.. Highly recommended. |
lowrider57......... I have a dedicated line for my Krell FPB 600 amp and my ARC Ref 6 preamp which i will be adding the Furutech GTX-d r. But not for my Rega Isis cdp. Would you also recommend a dedicated line for the cdp too? I was just going to change the generic receptacle to the Furutech GTX-d r. |
Or does it have to be only a 15 amp receptacle on a 15 amp line. |
I was always confused about this..... I am no electrician.So dont laugh. Can i use a 20a Furutech GTX-D-R receptacle on a 15 amp line for my cdp Or does it have to be a 20 amp line while using a 20 amp receptacle. |
Also can anyone answer my question about elizabeth? Thanks. |
elizabeth...Thanks...But can u answer me this? I thought it would be dangerous if you used a 15a receptacle on a 20 a line, not a 20a receptacle on a 15a line. In my opinion it would be less voltage going into a 20 a receptacle on a 15 a line. But what do i know. |
elizabeth...Also so u are suggesting to use a 20a circuit for my 15 a cdp? |
As you can see this is very confusing to me. lol |
Also when my electrician installed my dedicated 20a line for my amp and preamp he also installed a quad {4} outlet receptacle. Would this still be considered a dedicated line for my amp and preamp? |
secretguy.........Any excuse to waste money?????? I dont understand your comment....Please explain... |
czarivey....No u are wrong. My cdp is not on a dedicated line. So i will be adding a dedicated line for that. But i already bought a Furutech GTX-d r 20 amp. At first i thought i could use it for my non dedicated 15a line with my Furutech GTX-d r . But not according to Elizabeth if i am reading her answer right. But since i want to have a dedicated line for my cdp i might as well go with a 20a dedicated line so i can use my 20 a Furutech with my cdp. Does this make sense? |
Also when my electrician installed my dedicated 20 a for my amp and preamp he also installed (2) double receptacles outlets side by side on the one dedicated line. Would this still be considered a dedicated line for my amp and preamp? Or do each component have to be on their own dedicated line? |
@lowrider57 .........I will tell the electrician about what you said about installing the ground wires from both dedicated lines to the Ground bar in the circuit panel.. I dont know what you mean by that but i will tell him. |
lowrider57......The 20A dedicated line right now that my electrician installed with 2 duplex receptacles says TR . They are white. I dont know what you mean by commercial. From what i found on line TR stands for taper resistant and sell for $3.50 ea.Very cheap and prob garbage for audio. Right now im using that for my amp and preamp until my 2 Furutech GTX -d r come in the mail and will replace the TRs. Also right now my CDP is on a non dedicated 15A. And waiting for the 20A Furutech GTX-d r to come also in the mail , then i will have my electrician run the dedicated 20A line and put in the Furutech for my CDP and have him replace the 2 cheap duplex TRs and install the 2 Furutechs for the amp and preamp. |
@lowrider57 ..........Will do and thanks very much and to all that replied to my post...Very much appreciated all the help.... |
@laserjock163.........It is NOT on a dedicated line. |
audiosens........Also i just forgot , 2 of the Furutech GTX-d r will be going into a 2 gang wall box, and will need a 2 gang wall plate. I will not be able to use the covers and the frames for those 2. Looked to see if Furutech has the 2 gang wall plate... They do not have it. |
Are there any Carbon Fiber Quad Covers? Ive been looking on line but cant find any.... |
audiosens........I will be installing 3 Furutech GTX -d r. I see that the GTX 105-D Wall Plate $220.....The GTX Wall Frame is $160.....Thats $380....Plus the cost for each of the Furutech GTX-d r....$250 x 3 + $220 x 3....+ $160x3 = $1890 .....Wow that is alot for 3 total receptacles... How important is the wall covers and wall frame ????? |
tomfoolery...... Thats what i would have done if i already had a 15A dedicated line. Since i do not , I will just put a 20A dedicated line in for my CDP and the 20A Furutech. |
Just found a Carbon Fiber / Aluminum base , double face plate for 4 from Oyaide (WPC-Z2} from VH AUDIO. $374.99 And the single (WPC-Z) $239.99......Good thing i only need 1 and 1.... |
lowrider57...They {Oyaide} look like regular 4 and 2 outlet face plate. But i will call VH Audio and make sure they will fit before i buy them. |
@elizabeth ....Thank you for your explanation on the Brass outlet covers...I am going to take you opinion and fly with it...Thank you for saving me about $ 615, on those 2 carbon fiber covers from Oyaide. I will now use Brass dual duplex , and a Brass single duplex with my 3 Furutech GTX-d r |
@elizabeth Brass is just as good as carbon fiber? Can you explain that Elizabeth please? |
@folkfreak Thank you for sharing your experience with the Oyaide plates and covers..I really am glad now that i didnt buy them .. |
@audiosens.........So u are saying you did hear a difference with the Furutech wall plate with the GTX gold? And the improvement was just as a good improvement as much as having the NFC duplex alone? |
@audiosens.... Imagine the improvement with the carbon fiber wall cover too. |
@audiosens..........Furutech dose not make the double carbon fiber frame and outlet cover. Which i will need 1 double . Oyaide makes the double carbon fiber face plate and aluminum base all attached (WPC-Z2) The price is $374.99. Now, Furutech does have the GTX single carbon fiber wall frame $160 and GTX 104-D outlet cover $120. And Oyaide has the single carbon fiber with the aluminum base attached WPC-Z, $239.99. VH Audio sells them. {Oyaide covers } The difference in cost between the 2 single covers is only $40. But since if i do splurge and go with the Oyaide carbon fiber double cover with aluminum base i might as well also go with the single one from Oyaide. Also when i asked AH Audio if the Oyaide carbon fiber covers will fit with the Furutch GTX-d r , he said that they do fit and he uses them with his Furutech GTX-d r. He also said that there is and will be a 40% to 60% improvement with the Oyaide carbon fiber covers with the Furutech GTX -d r than not having them. |
laserjock1963....Im not worried about my CPD tripping on the 15A circuit. I do want a dedicated line for my CDP whether it be a 15A or 20A makes no difference to me but i did want and buy the Furutech GTX -d r receptacle for my CDP and since i have to run a dedicated line it might as well be a 20A line and breaker for the furutech. And NO i cant run my whole system on a 15A breaker for my Krell FPB 600 and ARC Ref 6. |
@jmarini2............OMG THAT IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE IDEA !!! WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THAT !!!! WOW YOU ARE THE @#$& ING BEST !!!! |
Forgot to mention the 2 Furutechs will be on a dedicated 20A line for my Amp and preamp. |
@elizabeth ...Thanks Elizabeth but i got a really great deal on the Oyaide WPC - Z2 carbon fiber double face plate and the WPC-Z single ...I will try them out. Let you know the results as soon as i can.. |
|
@dynaquest.........So you are saying that WE Believers are not intelligent and smart like you? |
I know for a fact i that hear a difference with my upgraded Shunyata King Cobra CX PC for my ARC Ref 6 compared to the stock PC. Same goes with my Shunyata Sigma PC for my Krell FPB 600 and my Shunyata Sigma Digital PC Rega Isis CDP. Same goes for my StraightWire Crescendo ICs and speaker cable. I hear a big difference even from the lower end StraightWire Virtuso which i upgraded to Crescendo all the way around ...So i really think unless you try some higher end PCs and ICs and speaker cable you should not say that it is a waste of money and dont have any value of money. Our money im sure is just as important to us as to you. So i wall say once again if u never tried it you cant give an opinion one way or the other. |
@dill I couldnt have said that better myself... Well done.. |
jhills...I do not a dedicated line for my CDP but i did buy 3 Furutech GTX-d r receptacles. 2 of them will be used for my Krell FPB 600 amp and ARC Ref 6 preamp... The other one i wanted to put on a dedicated 20A line for my CDP . Can the Furutech GTX-d r be wired to a 15A dedicated line? I thought they were 20A receptacles. |
@lowrider57 ....Exactly ....So also would a 20A dedicated line be ok for a CPD? Regardless if it needs it or not.. |
I didnt know the Furutechs GTX - d r could be wired to a 15A circuit.. Thats why i was going to use a 20A line...Well i will now use a 15A dedicated line for my CDP. I thought i had no choice but to use a 20A line with the furutech. |
@elizabeth ....Got it Elizabeth.. So what was all the hay say crap about why am i putting in a 20A dedicated circuit for my CDP. |
@tomic601....Who is talking about a 20A on a 15A Line? |
I always thought and heard that a CDP and all digital components would be better off on a dedicated circuit.. |
@everyone.....How many of you that have a high resolution CDP have it on a dedicated circuit? |
jhills.... So you are saying that a CDP does not need to be on a dedicated circuit ? And that just changing the receptacle to an audio grade is good enough? |
@elizabeth .... Elizabeth how do you like the PS Audio P600 ? Do you have anything else hooked up to it besides a CDP? |
@jhills. Thanks Jim.....So i guess i really dont have to add a dedicated 15A line for the CDP. I will just change the receptacle. |
@elizabeth ....My digital equipment is on the same 20A line... Do you mean also that it is a dedicated 20A line? I understand that it is also hooked up to a seperate power conditioner. Also you suggested ferrite clamps , i dont they would be large enough to put on my Shunyata Sigma digital AC cord which is 8 awg. . And also that it is a digital ac cord anyway i really might not even need the ferrite clamp. |
@lowrider57...... Yes i did ...All true... thanks.... |
