I own an Equi=tech 10WQ and I am wondering if having balanced power could cause any issues with non-audio equipment such as lights or record cleaners, etc. Do I have to be careful as to what is on a circuit being powered by the 10WQ?
David,
as you know I've had the same unit since 2010. I have 'dirty' outlets next to the 'clean' outlets on the 10WQ grid. I always use the 'dirty' outlets for non signal path, non system gear such as lights. I have plugged three different RCM's into the 'clean' 10WQ power grid without issue.
up to now never had one issue that I know about.
Thanks Mike. I don't see why other electrical devices would have an issue with balanced power but I don't know enough about it to be certain.
Do like Mike, dirty and clean outlets.
What you never want to do is mix the two. For example amplifiers into dirty and preamp into clean.
I guess my question is do I need dirty outlets, and if so, why?
