Dedicated circuits


I just completed installing 2 dedicated circuits. After reading several threads here, I went with 30 amp breakers with 10 AWG wire with high end receptacles. One circuit for the amp and the other for everything else. I’m blown away by the difference. Tighter bass, not as bright, better imaging and soundstage. Should have done this long ago.

@jeffseight I used PS Audio receptacles as well.

@lak I used 30 amp breakers because a few people said they give more headroom. I’m sure 20 amp would have been more than sufficient. More people said using 10 AWG wire was a better choice than 12 AWG. So for only a few more $$ I went with 30 amp. Whoever gets this house after me will look at this and “What the heck” 🤔

@eric_squires Thanks for the valuable feedback. I should have known better. 20amp breakers are now installed. 

Yes. I was truly blown away at the difference in nearly every aspect of the sound.
