Power cord choice?

The 20 amp ratings relates to the total output your conditioner can supply.  Not to be confused with the individual output capacity of each plugin on the back of the unit.  As such, they recommend the conditioner be put on a 20 amp breaker.  It reality, most people use a 20 to 15 amp plug converter so you can use the existing household outlet.  Given that most systems, other than initial start-up, will only draw between 1 - 2 amp total, there is no problem running the "20 amp" conditioner on a 15 amp circuit.  

I understand....I've read that while not sustained there are transient current peaks that occur during some musical passages that demand more current.

That is true, but the increase in current might spike your amp draw by half an amp?  You would have to be a massive amount of equipment to draw a total of 5 amps?  Just saying the 15 amp service in the average home is not likely to fail.  And even if it did, it would simply kick off the breaker on the main panel.  If someone on this forum has a system drawing that much power, I'd love to see it.  

Music is all transients. There are always current peaks like that. That's why for example amps use slow blow fuses. All the stuff you are doing, you are gonna be shocked how good your system will sound.

Degeneration. I don’t know how else to call this phenomenon: people starting a thread asking for a recommendation on something audio related. Anything. And all of a sudden that thread is flooded with people who think that particular TYPE of audio equipment is not necessary, does nothing, stock whatever would do and so on.

I don’t understand why.

Can you focus on helping the OP? Answering their question? If you have nothing to offer, be it for lack of experience, or not even believing on the particular subject, can’t you just skip, disregard, ignore? Why do you feel the urge to “participate” offering nothing useful to the OP?

Can you cable non-believers explain what internal psychological drives you to participating in threads that are of zero interest to you? It will be very useful from the mental point of view. Kinda of curiosity I have in humans train of thoughts. Is it because you feel like you need to intervene to save the OP’s money? Good Samaritan syndrome?

 Thank you
