Going down the phase rabbit hole?

When installing dedicated line, has anyone gone down the phase rabbit hole?
Talking to ChatGPT,

  • two 120V phases enter the house in the US,
  • In addition to a dedicated line, look into ensuring noisy appliances, fridges, smps etc are not in the same phase.
  • all hifi stuff - switches, routers etc on same phase

Anyone pay attention to this while running a dedicated line in the US?

Talking to someone I met through an audio marketplace, he was telling me the story od a friend in Mumbai who pays off a govt employee USD$50 a month to get a new line into the apartment just for his audio. It’s like the apartment has a second account. :slight_smile:

Hifi stuff, yes, or at least all toroidal power supplies such as those used in most Naim boxes. Network equipment, no, keep them on a different circuit and some physical distance away from the HiFi.

In UK multiple phases in domestic properties is in common. Given the chance to have audio and nothing else, and other things on a different phase then should be beneficial. Ic not then swap phases because the first choice might bd noisiest due to other people on ssme local distribution circuit.

What haunts me is electron spin. Would all up, or all down electrons sound better? Or, is there some optimal ratio of up and down?

I’m making a distinction here between circuit and phase..

well, draw two cables and hear. And depends on whether cat is alive or dead.

The Higgs field may have an impact.
