In wall power cabling- for Apartment Dweller

Howdy.

I need some advice on what kind of in wall power cabling (reasonably priced to cheap) is a step up from whatever my Landlord's go-to electrician would pick up at Lowe's to do the job.

I'm going to be installing 2 dedicated lines, and I need some knowledge on what brands of cable to use. Also, I won't be purchasing "audiophile Grade" circuit breakers, if they are expensive, but anyone have knowledge re: circuiut breakers- i.e. 15 amp, etc and some manufacturers that make them better than others, etc...

I've got my "Porter Ports" on the way (thanks again Albert!)
and I need to know what to do next.
Keep in mind that, once I move, 100% of my investment will be lost, so I'm not going to be purchasing anything that is really expensive.

THANKS!!!!

The only choice you have in wire that's not costly is romex, but have them run 10 guage to your power ports.
It would be nice to have three lines run as you can use the first one for Amps, second one for Digital and third for Preamp etc.. Next I would pick up a few PS Audio Ultimate Outlets as you can take these with when you move! You can pick up U/O for around $225 each used here on Agon. If it's in the budget check out a used P-600 for around $1300 Happy Upgrading!
