In Reply to: Better to not share a preamp in the same outlet or strip as the amp? posted by bullethead on January 15, 2017 at 09:06:39:
My system all runs from a single outlet to the Monster in our (rented) condo, no way around it in practical terms. The TV is on a separate outlet, as is the subwoofer, but all are on the same house AC circuit.
My system is quiet including the MM phono, vintage preamp used as a phono stage, monstrous Lexicon digital A-V preamp, and power amp-- all plugged into the appropriately labelled AC outlets on the back of the Monster. Good enough for my performance objectives.
"Good enough?" I think that the crux of the biscuit is how resolving is your system and your listening habits. My experience in avionic instrumentation and hi-fi say that you can hear ANYTHING- and actually objectively measure something about it. (Building speakers, I've heard the difference in freakin' solder formulas but it was a millionth of a zillionth of 1 percent and neither was "better.") You will definitely get an impact from the purchase of the new ultra-expensive power components, but you might get as much or more by removing, dragging around, and reconnecting existing cables. Happens all the time in avionics. The fallacy of "All things being equal" sure comes in to play since they can never be!
At one time I had a separate 20-amp circuit wired to a much higher resolution stereo music system in a former residence. It made no discernible difference except perhaps for providing the electrician's boat payment that month. So I'm a prejudiced Bear-- the money seems much better spent on buying recordings!
