I will not have the four power cords until early next week. Which fortunately for me is during a one week vacation. What I plan to do is remove the Furutech FP-20 and P&S duplexes. Hardwire via wirenuts (I believe soldering will be a no-no for insurance purposes) directly to the wall. To assist in the voicing I will be using Purple Heart wall covers.
Very simple really. Polish the conductors, wire nuts to make the direct contact, then use electrical tape to secure the wire nuts to the wire. Four main connections to the wall:
* where there was one duplex, there will be a hardwire from the sub (modified to accept a new Studio Reference power cord) and a 193L choke. Both the sub and choke will be detachable from the wall via Neutrik Powercons.
* where there was the other duplex, there will be a hardwire from two new Studio Reference power cords terminating with IEC plugs. At this time they will be powering a hotbox (for the amps) and a Chang 6400 (for the front end gear). Eventually the two hardwired Studio Reference power cords will be powering a full floor standing tower PLC. A custom Studio Washer system by Alan Maher. I am trying to duplicate most of the Washer system now, so I can see the effects. So far I am extremely happy.
I am hoping the hardwiring will take the setup up a few notches. And from what I am hearing from Alan and your experience, it sounds like I will be very happy with it. Everything will be detachable and I am actually planning to stay in my current home for at least the next few years. Once the hardwiring is done and settled in, I will post my experiences and pics of the setup.
Thanks for sharing your experiences regarding this topic, much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Chris
