RE: for those who built Signal DU/SU-based conditioners

OK, from what you say the DU-5 is mismatched for my system which is triamped-290 watts each, total 870 watts, active crossover-10 watts, preamp-25 watts, CDP-25 watts, plus tuner,reel to reel, cassette etc that might bring the total around 1100 watts if I'm lucky. P=IV the total current draw with everything running is 1100/120 = 9.2 amps. The amps are Yamaha B2's - each have dual power supplies each with their own transformer and each with 36,000 mfd power supply capacitance. Components are powered up and down in sequence with a 15 sec interval (to allow settling) between components. From what you said in this thread and others is that I'm starving the amps of head room with the DU-5 and the 12awg mains wire coming from a 15amp panel breaker. I have a surplus DU-2 that I didn't use as I thought it might be too small. Is is a better match for may system? Thanks.
