An unconventional approach to POWER MANAGEMENT

Hi All,

Not too long ago I started a thread on power cords that led to a discussion of various approaches to power management that was very informative. That thread then prompted some experimentation that netted some very impressive results. If you're interested in learning more you can read about that here:

Now I'm interested in hearing from those of you who have installed dedicated breaker boxes for your systems, particularly those who did not have them at some point and then added one later. What were the results? I'm considering this approach and am hoping to hear a variety of experiences.

Thanks, as always!

I have four panels, my very own high voltage transformer and a whole house generator. None of this was aimed at my system. Assuming your house was wired correctly to code, putting in a separate panel for your HiFi system will do absolutely nothing but waste money and any good electrician will look at you sideways and say something like, "are you out of your mind?" I can turn a 10 horsepower three phases shaper on and off and it has zero effect on my stereo. 
Good equipment does not need any of this power management stuff, none of it. Spend your money on good equipment not fixes for bad equipment. But to tell the truth I have never heard bad equipment need it either.
