As predicted, apparently not all 3 branch circuits are on the same leg. Unfortunately, the configuration of outlets in the room on the same leg isn't exactly convenient. Hence my next question: If I keep all the audio components on a single leg (20amp & 15 amp), is it a major problem to have video equip (TV & DVR) on another leg - the only connection between the two systems is via HDMI routed through the preamp. I understand this isn't ideal but if they are attached to separate surge protection is it workable?
AC Power - two circuits better than one?
Reorganizing my system starting from the wall receptacles (rewiring is not a possibility) but quickly ran into a conundrum. Is it better to source power for my audio system from several different circuits or one dedicated circuit?
More info: I have three possible options. Two 15 amp circuits (1 shared with a couple of lights the other with several wall receptacles including a pc) & one dedicated 20 amp circuit (but with only one single duplex outlet). I have mono blocks, power amp, preamps, digital & analog audio sources, & digital HT gear.
Should I distribute my system across these three circuits or try & source them all from the single dedicated 20 amp outlet? If distribute, what kind of break down makes sense?
