I will not even read the other post!, NO!, do not ever do that.
Amp and preamp on same outlet?
Just how much of a no-no is this? ARC goes as far to print in their manual to say to have the amp and preamp on their own circuit. I live in an apt. and I'm forced to have both plugged into the same outlet. Cords just don't reach....How much sound quality is lost by doing this? It sounds great as is, but is there a major detriment to this? I'm curious.

Thanks, Jim (Jea48). Excellent points, some of which are further emphasized and explained on pages 31 to 35 of this excellent paper, which you had called attention to a while back. Wrm, thanks also. Best regards, -- Al |
Plug your amp straight into the wall and the preamp into a power conditioner of your choice along with the rest of your non-amplification components. Then enjoy your system, and consider the many excellent high-end tweaks which do so much more to improve your system than continuing to worry about the item in question here. |
Unless you are set to add additional lines, which the apartment owner will probably allow as long as it is done to code, I would do as Brauser suggested. You should not have any problems with noise or ground loops if you plug your low level components into a decent conditioner and the amp directly into the wall outlet. enjoy |
