That is consistent with the online specs, it draws 9 amps at 120V. I assume this is max, not typical. That is a ton of power, it would heat your room. > I have asked around if a UPS would work You could try turning off the fridge... One might work, if you get the right one. Sadly, computer oriented UPS have terribly tiny amounts of information. And many of them put out only crude waveforms (square or triangle) waves when they are generating A/C from their batteries, which will sound terrible in most audio gear. If you can get one that is "always on" http://www.pcguide.com/ref/power/ext/ups/typesOnLine-c.html it may work. You need one that generates true 'sine wave' power. Less likely to work, but easier and cheaper are "line interactive" mode, http://www.pcguide.com/ref/power/ext/ups/typesLineInt-c.html And of course there are special Audiophile power cleaners that cost as much as small cars that will do the job. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
