Have you ever had to do that? You bought a new system(s), and you had to up the ampage in your breaker box so you wouldn't blow a fuse?

All of us do that at some point. My challenge, over the years, has been to successfully set up a breaker box. Have you ever had a problem with that? What system are we talking about here?

Hi, Most gear now is far more power efficient than it was just a few years ago. I doubt that too many people will find standard circuits too low in capacity. I use high power tube gear and have no problems. I do recommend though a power filter/leveler. I use an APC H1500. Just in case of brown outs, spikes and other AC mis-behavior.

Good Listening
