Material Specifications/Layout for AC line

Calling Sean, Lak and other informed Audiogoners!! I know that there are all kinds of discussions both current and in the archives regarding dedicated audio ac circuits, but I'd really appreciate some definitive suggestions regarding layout and materials. I know a retired union electrician so I know that I'm in good hands installation-wise. I'd really like some direction regarding layout and material specifications for my system, modest as it may be. Blue Circle 21.1 linestage preamp/Cary 308T cd player/Marantz SA 8260 sacd player/Odyssey Audio Stratos Extreme amp and Magnepan 1.6 QR speakers. I've got some good power cords already (VH Audio Flavor 4, Hot Box and Blue Circle BC 61's).

Thanks in advance.

BTW, I've posted the same question over at AA.

Tim, don't know how i missed this thread for this long, but i just stumbled across it now. Didn't mean to leave you hanging and i wasn't avoiding you either. Just one of those things.

You've gotten good advice so far, so check into getting everything on one side of the box if possible. Larry's suggestion as to trying to connect to the side with the least amount of household appliances ( refrigerator, heater, washer & dryer, etc... ) is worth checking into also. The use of parallel line filters may also help you without having to install anything between the AC outlet and your components. Sean
