Dedicated circuits? Bldng a new house. Help.


I am in the process of having a house built. I have a 50/50 theater/music system, mostly all Linn stuff, and I am very ignorant about electrical power. My stuff is all currently plugged into a Tice power conditioner, except the amps are plugged directly into the wall. I do not have ANY dedicated circuits. They are all sharing.

I have 2 amps,processor,dvd player,cd player,xbox 360, cable box,and a plasma.

Since I am building, obviously this is the time to do what I need to do. So please help. How many dedicated circuits? What plugs into each one? What do I do with the Tice? What kind of outlets?

Thanks.

Since there are so many different things you can do with the power coming into your house, my recommendation is to get three different types of power conditioners, each running on their own dedicated circuits. Not necessarily these particular brands/types but start with your Tice as being one, then get maybe an Exactpower, and maybe one more, say an Equitech for balanced power. Then add at least two dedicated circuits. With all these various connections available, your chances are pretty good that you will be able to "dial in" your system. It may seem excessive, but you need to make the best atttempt upfront in order to really know you've made your best effort.
