In Reply to: A question for Mr. Al Sekela... ( Re: I recommend multiple dedicated circuits.) posted by Antonio Machado on August 18, 2005 at 07:24:29:
With dedicated lines you should be able to hear a very nice improvement.I don't have personal experience with the power conditioners you have, but I've read a little about them. As you know, they do different things. You will be able to experiment once you have dedicated line(s), but I think the Shunyata would be useful to further isolate the digital equipment from the remainder of your system. Even with a dedicated power circuit for the digital gear, the noise it creates will still couple at a lower level to your other components through the breaker panel.
I would try the power amp straight into a dedicated line, then with the Richard Gray unit, to see which arrangement works better.
If you keep the FM tuner turned off while listening to other sources, it should not generate electrical noise. You can try running it from the Shunyata or directly from the power circuit.
The preamplifier may prefer a direct connection to the power circuit, but you can also try it with the Richard Gray unit.
Another thing to keep in mind if you have cable or satellite TV service, is that the converter boxes for these things are powerful noise sources. It is best to turn them off and remove the power from them for serious listening. If this is impractical, then noise filters on the AC power that feeds them are helpful in reducing their influence. Your Shunyata might be ideal for this service if you find it does not help the digital gear on a dedicated line.
Good luck, and keep us informed of your progress.
