Sad this wire even exists and there are "professionals" willing to stick customers with the garbage

And Ithought the electrician contractors that did my house were the scrimpenist chincers that ever pinched some pennies but man shared return lines......now that's low!

Obviously this was done to save a buck. Even if the installer doesn't really understand good grounding should use higher end materials just beacause you were paying him top dollar for a high end install.

Well it kinda makes me a little mad to think about it. Seperate not equal to dedicated, damn I guess I'll need my lawer present when I hire my electrician to make sure he doesn't have some shared ground loophole clause in our conbtract. Sheesh! What next?

lordy i feel bad about this purchase.

the upshot is that i do have two lines out of three that are dedicated, right? both on the same leg. i definitely have heard an improvement using these two lines only. improvement in imaging, and effortlessness of music.
- Yes, with your system you have about as much AC as you need. - Al Sekela 13:22:12 06/30/07 (2)
  As I've said elsewhere, your Canary amps have power supply designs that produce little or no electrical noise, so there would be no real advantage as far as noise goes in having each monoblock on a separate dedicated circuit. Most other power amps would benefit from separate dedicated circuits.
  
  You will still benefit from damping your dedicated circuits. If you are not interested in DIY, Audioprism makes dampers called Quiet Lines. See the link.

    how about a couple blue circle power pillows? same thing? i've already got one...
    - The might be similar. - Al Sekela 11:25:50 07/02/07 (0)
      The information available on-line is sparse, but the limited description provided by Blue Circle suggests these are indeed R-C filters.
      
      Try yours and see if you hear an improvement. Try it on both the active and alternative lines.
