RE: "Those amps?"

I was referencing your VTL MB-450's (per your profile) if that is what you are still running. How do you arrive at 17.5 Amps of current draw? It doesn't add up when I do the math, and certainly not a continuous 17.5-Amps.

Do you know if the OP runs Emotiva XPR, Audio Research REF750, VTL Siegfried, or Pass Labs X1000.5?

If so, you put in two runs of 12AWG using two circuits, not 10AWG or fatter on a single circuit.

Unless your gear draws more than an electric dryer, I would bet that 12AWG is more than adequate for 99.99% of all home audiophile setups.

Maybe he's in the that last 0.01%, but I seriously doubt it. ;-)
