  Thanks for posting..
  I was searching for more info. on Power sources, and, Wall Plug selections
  in a house.
  My Stereo stuff is in a "Coffee Table" in the middle of the "Listening Room".
  There is no Electrical Plug Outlets in the middle where I sit.
  I got to run Electrical Extension Cords to reach the Components.
  That is why I was looking for a good "Power Strip".
  
  An Amplifier, ( I sometimes run two amplifiers ) , a PRE AMP, TurnTable, SCHIIT AUDIO LOKI & MAGNI.
  All that into one " AC Plug Outlet.".. ( I worry about overloading )
  I was going to use Two different Outlets, to sorta split the Load, but,
  I was watching this video.
  About the 14 Minutes into the video, the Host ( Michael Fremer) explains his thoughts on Power Conditioners on one line..
  
  
  
  F1, That Monster Warning, is it the Ethics, or, about the Product Quality?
  No disrespect to your feelings/thoughts... Just clarification..

  Thanks for sharing that video.
  Good to see others have the same opinion about a single 20amp line feeding one system. That’s what a well respected audio dealer told me here in ATL also. Not to knock anyone else with multiple, but what Michael said in this video just makes sense.
  
  Also, Niagara baby!!

  I haven’t had any problems with my Monsters.
  Like Carver that name seems to bring up a lot of for and against biases and arguments.
  Wish I could get a dedicated 20 amp outlet! I have heard the benefits long ago in another apartment I lived in when I plugged a radio in to one that was for an air conditioner and on it’s own circuit. I was listening to a distant FM station which was plagued with noise and when I switched to the 20 amp outlet the noise dropped by an order of magnitude!!
  Suddenly I could hear the music 🎼 🎶 playing.
