Sean, thanks for the mini lesson in power cabling. I just bought a new house and plan to have a electrician install dedicated lines. I just surfed the belden site and it's all greek to me. Can you tell me exaxtly what to instruct the electrician to do? Here's what I know. Dedicated ground, 20 amp, star wired, not series. What wire (exactly) should I buy? I also plan to use better ac plugs like PS audio or the FIM. I've heard about whole house surge protection at the panel-what do I need to tell him here? Also, is there different quality in circut breakers too? If so, what's the type/brand to get? Anything else? Thanks in advance...John
Dedicated line which wire?
Is THHN 10 AWG crap?(the price is great) LAT AC2 is about $700. for 50', JPS ac line is about $900. Anyone know if the sub $50 THHN is a sonic compromise? (would rather spend the extra $650-$850 on recordings or concerts) I've heard that questionable copper purity and the pvc insulation make THHN a poor choice for audio ac .Any other ac line recommendations out there? Anyone know if solid really sounds better than stranded?
