Re: NO FLAME, just curious...... DIY AC cords


Check and see if dual or tandem breakers are available for your panel. I had to buy 2 tandems and put other circuits on the tandems and use the full size ones for my 20 amp audio circuits. I got the Hubbells off of ebay for $17.00 and I used Hubbell AC plugs on the cables. In the last 2 days I got a line on a 2000VA Equi=Tech balanced power transformer that I will use for the low level source gear. I am going to try and create a "worst case" scenario for the old power cords and then switch to the new circuits, new cables, and new power to see if there is a difference. Depending upon what happens with that test, I will go further. Stay tuned.

Chuck
