Dedicated electrical line - UK

Hello, looking for some advice on how you have set up dedicated lines for home audio. 
I am in the lucky position to be renewing all my electrics and will set up dedicated lines for my stereo, and tv room. 

What tips do you have?

Recommend wiring?
Links and costs? (UK)

lessons learned 

none negotiable 

Also listening when it comes to data lines as well. 
Thanks all

You will be in for a real treat. Each time I have done it I have been happily surprised and never heard of anyone who has not.

I would doubt there are any / many differences in recommendations between the US and UK, although the voltage is different. You would want a dedicated line for your amp(s) and one for the remaining audio components. Use oversized wire… 10 gauge and audiophile outlets. Special audiophile grade wire for running dedicated lines is available… I am sure this would be a little bit better… but this could start getting costly. Here the value now and in the future of your system should be taken into account.

 

I don’t think it is as important, but since you are doing all. The same for your AV system.
