Audio tips for rewiring old home


We purchased an older home that requires a lot of electrical work before we move in - a new breaker, a new receptacle connecting to the city power, and probably some rewiring bc many of the outlets are not grounded. 
Would appreciate any audio-related tips that I might keep in mind as we do this. I don’t have a lot of extra funds so probably won’t consider a dedicated power line. But I was thinking of adding a few hospital grade outlets in rooms I would likely have a system in, and perhaps try to include data cables so I can plug in rather than use wifi.  Any other ideas? Tnx

Too funny. When people post, there should be a link to their system page. So people reading their advice can go and look and see if there's any chance the poster has actual experience with what they're talking about. Then you can, you know, sort of get a handle on how likely its good solid info or your run of the mill blather.  

Oh, wait! There is! All you do is click on their name! Here's mine:https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367

We report. You decide.
Your most cost-effective move by far will be to run one 20A line direct to your main system outlet. That's it. Use ordinary $2 or whatever outlets. If you want, go to the hardware store and give them a real good look, some use better construction than others, pay an extra buck or two for those. Hospital grade is a joke, with nothing any different in the way of sonics. Then later you can figure out if you want to buy Synergistic Blue or Orange, outlets that actually will make a difference. 

Then run whatever other circuits you need the normal way. Just make sure your one direct line goes to your system, as you will not want anything connected to the system connected to anything else.
