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.

Dedicated lines and their guage, conditioners plugged into them, and the quality of the ground all make a difference. All of this can get pretty expensive so you will have to decide how far to go.

I would get dedicated lines put in with quality and heavy guage wire used. A quality ground can make a difference, but I have yet to try this. I have tried 47 different conditioners, including your present one, and prefer the IsoClean thus far. It is expensive, but to me worth it.

Quality wall plugs also make a difference.

There is enormous difference of opinion on conditioners and wall plugs as well as power cords.
