@lak. What was your experience with the 2Q?
power cables' effect on power conditioner?
After auditioning different power cables over the years I have settled on the ones I now have in in my system. I do not have a power conditioner, but am considering one. Will the power cable used from the wall outlet to the conditioner change the sonic characteristics of my system? Or is it recommended to use the same cable from the outlet to the conditioner as the cables from the conditioner to each component?

I am planning on running a dedicated 10 Guage steel shielded power cable from my breaker box to feed my niagara 7000. This cable claims to deal with harmonics - if I can find some others take 190 feet since they only sell 250 reels http://www.afcweb.com/mc-metal-clad-cables/super-neutral-cable-neutral-per-phase-or-oversized-neutra... I wanted to terminate the run in a 20 amp IEC and plug directly into my power conditioner, bypassing the outlet and another cord. Aside from code issues , has anyone done this ? |
Is it going through the wall? in the wall? Or out and easy to see the whole length? If out. perhaps use some cladding that is used to hide wiring? Covering a steel flexable cable with some neat cladding would be a big WAF.If it is inside the wall... I think if you start with it coming out of a code box at the wall, with an added code allowed fixture to allow the cable to exit the wall intact. Like those metal oblong covered L shaped lozenge seen in commercial installs. With a pipe or the cladding for hiding wires from it toward the Niagra.. (maybe painted to be less noticeable?) Then right by the Niagra the end of the pipe with a surrounding plastic or rubber plug letting the actual cord stick out to the IEC plug... I would think it would be a passable looking item. I run a dual quad set of 12 gauge wires with a pair of ground wrapped in, Wrapped in blue teflon tape up over the ceiling to the living room and back down...(about 36 feet long) In my apartment. The folks in charge of the building have never complained. Though they have seen it many times. The one outlet in the kitchen is a 20 amp alone on a circuit breaker. and I wanted to use that. |
