Amp and preamp on same outlet?

Just how much of a no-no is this? ARC goes as far to print in their manual to say to have the amp and preamp on their own circuit. I live in an apt. and I'm forced to have both plugged into the same outlet. Cords just don't reach....How much sound quality is lost by doing this? It sounds great as is, but is there a major detriment to this? I'm curious.

Incandescent. Usually off when I listen.

Utter nonsense, all of it. Plug those components and listen to music already!

You're right. I did plug the preamp into the other circuit and had no improvement, albeit, I did use an extension cord, which did muddy the sound. But the experiment did prove that it's nothing to be worried about. My system sounds terrific.

I have been following this post, avoiding comment due to agreement with the early posts suggesting that Audiolover not worry about the situation as “It sounds great as it is”.

However I do not agree that the generated discussion was “Utter nonsense, all of it.” Simply not true.
