P20, powered by a dedicated 20 amp circuit: Question is, are there instances where continuous or instantaneous current available from the P20 can be less than the wall? My dealer, who I don’t think has studied knowledge of the P20, strongly advises against plugging my 200 watt, class A monoblocks …

Try the P20 3M AB7050HF absorber mod. I got two converts one of them Al.ore are ordering Then tell us what is better P20 or wall for Amps

So has anyone attempted to apply the 3M AB7050HF to their power cords?

I wrapped mine to P20 and amps at p20 Had zero affect to sound but was loosely applied. Going to try my streamer, matrix and ulrarendu next. Perhaps my LPS’s after that.

I played around a little more yesterday and this morning and I consistently hear added richness from the P20. So, the better sound plus the security and the P20 wins. Happily, my dealer is wrong and the amps are staying connected to the P20. Another life-critical question answered. Oh—and my frien…

The experiment could be fun, and what may result. Is Larry willing to change?

I plugged my puny 150 watt Class A amp into my P20 and I was surprised to see at full power my whole system was using 800 watts. Try it. The P20, the amps, and the wall will all protect themselves.

Moments ago I plugged my amp back into the P20. I powered it up and set it to full blast and I got the hum again. So back into the wall it’s two power cables go. Bah.

I would try plugging them to the same high current Duplex top and Bottom not side by side. You obviously have a ground potential difference between duplex outlets creating the hum. Perhaps one of the high current duplexes was tightened differently regarding green screw torque or its ground pigtail …

P20 limitations? Empirical data please
