Short cords means nothing when your feeder cable from the panel are tiny. My feeder cables from my panel are #4 through 10 depending on the equipment. I ran 10 dedicated circuits to my outlet box by my rack. The amp goes on the #4 feeder. From there all #10awg cords averaging 16"-3' made by me, not bought. Maybe not it terms of available AC power, but getting the bulk of AC wiring away from signal lines sure does! |

I agree that hospital outlets are more than sufficient for our purposes. I upped the ante a bit by going with four PS Audio outlets, normally fifty dollars each but on sale at Music Direct for seventeen dollars each. Two outlets each on two 20 amp dedicated lines. Russ Attachment Deleted |

You can see here his rack and his small outlet boxes using the snap in square outlets. In all he has over 60 of these in his room to cover all his gear. Everything in his room is wired through an isolation transformer to a dedicated panel and all #6-8awg feeders to these outlets. Nothing fancy but sized appropriately. I think I saw this room in a TV show about hoarders.  Russ |
