Spectral dma-90 and MIT Z center

Spectral's website says their amps should be plugged into a different circuit than everything else. The DMA90 instructions says plug it into the same account outlet as preamp. I have mit z center. Should I plug the amp into the unswitched outlet marked for amps? I have the preamp in the switched section under preamp. Is that okay or do I need to have the amp in a separate circuit which will require an electrician?

It's fine to do as you mention. More isolation between amp and preamp may be better. If your preamp does not draw enough power to overheat the Z Center isolated outlet I would experiment using the isolated outlet for the preamp and see if sound is clearer. Where is your CD player plugged in?

Spectral owner for (20) yrs. Which preamp do you have? Used a pair of DMA 90s as bridged monos and DMC 12 w/phono. All required MIT ICs, Speaker cables and MIT power conditioning.

Preamp should be plugged into switched Side. Never turn off MIT Z center or Preamp. The unswitched outlets are straight pass through for the amps. Switched outlets have filter circuits.
