Dedicated AC lines???

Hello everyone! I'm searching for all the info I can get on installing dedicated AC lines for my system. Please offer suggestions for the best ideas, proceedures, and products to incorporate. From what I've read so far the two best outlets are the FIM 880 and the PS Audio powerport. Are there audio-grade choices for circuit breakers and wire? What's the best way to protect against surges and spikes that won't impede component performance? Thanks to everyone who offers advice! Dave

I am using the PSAudio Power Port, and it seems like it made an improvement in the dynamics of my system, however the more I learn about electricity, the more I believe it's best to stick with high quality copper like in the FIMs. I would buy a FIM to try it out, but damn, I just spent $50 on the PSA, and I'm trying to upgrade my preamp, so the FIM will have to wait.

One complaint of the PSA; I just bought and connected a CinePro Power20 and the PSA doesn't hold the 20AMP plug as tight as I expected it to/should.
