Title: Last spot on the power conditioner
Post by JHC on 07/11/26 at 14:12:15

Hi everyone, I have a really nice power conditioner built by Jesse at Pine Tree (who I found on the forum). Right now my whole system runs off it, and its great. However, I just added an Omega sub, which means I have to find a spot to plug it in. I could put the sub into the wall, but I am concerned about a ground loop. I also have a mesh network node connected via ethernet to the streamer. My hunch is to move the mesh network to the wall and plug the sub into the conditioner.

Between these two, which would be the less likely to produce a ground loop? I realize the best option is to just move everything around and test it out, but its a huge pain to move and rerouting cabling is also a bit tedious.

FWIW I have my Rythmik sub plugged into the same AC receptacle as my ZMA amplifier with absolutely no problems. I could be wrong but I don't think powered subs are as affected by AC noise issues as source equipment.

The easy solution is just to try both and see what works the best for your ears. You'll have a 50-50 chance for getting it right on the first try😂.
