How do I get good sounding, clean electricity?


A'goners, I am about to build out my basement for a home theater and I have the chance to do the electicity and wiring properly. However, I'm not sure what "proper" is.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what makes for good clean electrical power? Should I set up seperate circuits from the main (which I am doing anyway). Should I use any special copper wire, connections or outlets, what about this cryogenic thing, conditioners, etc. I'm in the US with 112 volts.

I'm not too anal (yet) but while building out the basics if there's anything wise to do first, now is the time.

As always, my sincere thanks for any input.

I have run 2 dedicated 20 amp lines using 10 guage shielded stranded copper wire(water proof).The ground wires of these 2 lines are grounded outside the panel buss directly to the copper ground wire that goes to the panel by means of a copper connector that was there when I had cable tv.The plugs are Hubbel, one line to a Hydra 2 for the power amps, and one to a Furman Balanced power conditioner for my pre, CLS11Z speakers, turntable. I have my cd player on a common house circuit, which I plan to change to a dedicated circuit.I also use Foundation Research line condioners on speakers, turntable,cd,pre-amp.With so much dirt in the lines you can't have enough filtering.
