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.

do two four gang outlets 20 amps each and that will do it.

LISTEN CAREFULLY!!!!DO NOT PUT THE DEDICATED BREAKERS FOR THESE OUTLETS ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF YOUR ELECTRIC PANEL!!THIS CAN CAUSE A PHASE PROBLEM WHICH YOU WOULD NEVER TRACE!
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR CIRCUITS ON SAME SIDE. ODD OR EVEN.
JUST GIVE THIS MESSAGE TO YOUR ELECTRICIAN, HE WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO. ALSO YOU COULD BUY SOME HIGH END OUTLETS FROM TRANSPARENT OR ANY GOOD COMPANY. RUNNING LARGER GAGE WIRE TO YOUR OUTLETS COULD ALSO HELP...

ENJOY!!
