Re: Can you have two many Adcom Amps voltage drop
Well done, looks like you are setup well. Thanks for pics and thoughts.

Re: Can you have two many Adcom Amps voltage drop
As stated before, there really is no substitute for higher amperage circuits for amplifiers. Your current (pun) setup is causing significant “voltage drop”, or “V-drop” from the over taxed circuit. When this happens, your gear will “attempt” to compensate by drawing more amperage, and thus creating more heat. Further, the individual components within the amplifiers take a beating from the V-drop.
I run a pair of Carver Silver 9t amplifiers in my 2ch system. To feed them, I ran a 20 amp circuit with 10ga wire. The amps are the only thing on that circuit…
In my home theater I’m running 2x Carver M500t amplifiers, a Sunfire 200x5, and a Parasound Z-12. For this I ran 3x 20 amp circuits with 12ga wire, just for the amplifiers.

Thanks for getting that stuck in my head!

Re: Post a picture.....any picture...part deux...
Actually I was a bit hesitant to post that, normally the total is at least twice that amount. Today was a "shoulders" day so relatively light, "leg" day is more strenuous with heavier weights. When I joined the Y in Baltimore they had an online workout program called ActivTrax and it gives you a different program each day and gradually increases the weight and repetitions as you get used to it. Even though I've changed locations, I've managed to keep to the program.

He had a thing for eating spiders. When he was young, he would just grab them up with his tongue. One must have bit his tongue as he made a sound and he spit it out and smacked it. After that he always gave them a whack with his front paw then ate them.
My cat spent the morning stalking a skink. It was under my stereo stand.
She snagged it and ran out of the room. The wife rescued it.
