More questions about dedicated lines
With all that you are doing to improve performace I would suggest using high purity audio grade thru the wall cable . Since Cardas no longer makes it you might look into JPS . Size: 10 AWG, UL/CSA listed for in-wall use Price: $18 per foot

orthomead , I would suggest that you only need 2 lines not 4 , with the equipment and power requirements you have . ( just my opinion as a retired biomedical equipment technician ) As for romex or premium in the wall cable , there have been many discussions about how could a 6 ft. power cord ( or outlet ) make a difference in the sound of your equipment , if you using expensive power cords because you can hear a difference then you should consider quality in the wall cable, if you don't and are using off the self 12 or 10 gauge power cables then use whatever to get power to your outlets . ( just my opinion as an audiophile DYIer ) p.s. I looked at jps and maybe they don't produce in wall anymore , but it looks like Oyaide still does , Cardas still has 10/3 listed on their web site but I haven't seen anybody selling it . |
orthomead I believe that audiozenology explained the best set up . Run a heavy gauge wire like 6 awg from your main box to a mini or remote box as close to your new outlets as possible , then you could run Audience 10 awg wire to your outlets ( like AudioQuest's NRG Edison ) . I believe that jea48 has a point about Romex , if you could run conduit it would be a better option , then you could use metal outlet boxes ! One thing I've learned is that Audio needs more gauge and more n's in our power wires . Your going to have a fantastic power base for your current system and the future upgrades . |
