gapperis123, the use of power conditioner, particularly for (very) high current amplifiers, is a subject that deserves a separate thread since there are many opinions and no final (objective) conclusion. There’s also another discussion around different power conditioner design and their respective pros and cons, etc. Many here prefer to plug directly into the high quality wall socket using a dedicated 20amp circuit. I have tried both scenarios and couldn’t hear a difference.
Cryongenically treated in-wall AC power wire
I have a high end sound system and am building a new house. I would like to have a dedicated electrical line installed for my system, to run from the electrical outlets in my music room to the breaker box. The builder asked me how long I wanted the wire to be, which runs from the outlets to the breaker box. I have no idea. I could place it as close as several feet or much longer. The wire is $20/foot. So, here are my questions:
1. If you want to install a dedicated electrical line for your sound system how close should the electrical outlets be to the breaker box, or does it make a difference? In other words, is there a minimum length of cryogenically treated wire that I will want in the wall stretching from the outlets to the fuse box?
2. I assume that using cryogenically treated wire and electrical outlets will reduce noise. Does anyone have any experience with cryogenically treated wire?
