Extension Cords.

[steve1971]

Anyone here use one of these with their HT setup? Here's the deal. This weekend my wife and I are wanting to move my HT setup to the other side of the room but the problem is there is no wall electrical outlet so she suggested hooking my Monster Power conditioner to an extension cord and we run the cord to a avalible outlet! But can this method be trusted? All of my HT gear goes to my Monster Power conditioner so I want to make sure hooking it to a good extension cord would be alright.

Any thoughts if this would be ok?

You know that the poweroutlet in the wall are basically just a hidden extension cord...Buy a not the cheapest nor more lenght than you need,and I would be surprised if you ran into trouble

It should be fine, if you use a not too long, quality( at least 14AWG ) extension cord.
I use three of the one pictured below, in my bedroom system & two in my living room system. In my bedroom system, I use one to connect my TV & one to connect my subwoofer to my power conditioner. I then use another one to connect my power conditioner to the wall power outlet. In my living room system I use them to connect my left & right front speakers to my power conditioner. No problemo!
