I found a spool of 125 feet of 8-gauge on C/L so rewired the house with a dedicated 20 amp breaker just for the entertainment center.
The plug in the entertainment center is a locking 20/30 amp piece that feeds an industrial surge protector. Outside of the entertainment center there are two high grade, 20 amp hospital plugs for my tube amp and any other aux equipment I may want to use/try.
The line runs continuous, first to the 30 amp plug, then the hospital plugs with NO SPLICES anywhere. There is also a big ferrite bead where the wire comes out of the electrical panel.
I noted a difference on my Yamaha SACD in that it cleaned up some of the "grunge" whereas I didn’t really notice a difference on my Oppo-95, which has a better power supply.
