to be the best compromise between low resistance (for which larger gauges are better) and high frequency performance (for which smaller gauges are better).
      If you do employ a conventional wall socket and plug arrangement, it is suggested that you change the wall socket to one of the special audiophile types that feature high contact friction, which lowers contact resistance. Plinius and the USA importer (Advanced Audio Technologies) also recommend that you install a fresh circuit breaker, and use a special Chemtronics CW 7100 conductive silver paste on all contacts in your powerline path (including those in the breaker box). You might also want to contact Plinius or Advanced Audio about a special measuring technique they employ to evaluate the source resistance of your powerline at the socket, to insure that it is low enough for you to hear the best from their electronics.
      Obviously, the Plinius Odeon is a very special product, and is as close to a no-compromise home theatre amplifier as you can pragmatically get in a single multichannel package. That's why we have devoted so much attention to it. It is the ideal choice for the mature film devotee, and for the mature music lover, who wants his audio to sound naturally realistic. Follow our special tips on getting the most from your Odeon, and you will be in surround sound heaven.
