New electrical wiring specifications


I have installed a new electrical panel and am going to run 3 dedicated circuits to my audio wall. (40 feet).  2 monoblocks and other components Would like recommendations as to specifications for the electrician as to wire size and type, grounding, receptacles , etc etc etc.   thanks

I'm glad someone asked this question.  I'd like to know how this has worked out for the members that have gone down this road.  

I went down the 10/3 Romex route, std 15amp breakers. You can get special audio grade wire, which I am sure gets expensive quick. I did two circuits (I am using a stereo amp). This made a very significant improvement, very cost effective at around $1.5K. Later I upgraded from the hospital grade receptacles to Isotek and got another very cost effective improvement (~$400). 

I would think this would be a basic approach. If your system is or will be very good and you can afford it, it would be justified in going further. 

Regarding receptacles about a year ago I bought some Voodoo cryoed receptacles. Previously I've owned Oyaide and Furutech. Prefer the Voodoo.

Put your earth spike under an a/c drain, if you have a/c.

This stops drying out in the summer.

I would PM @jea48,

He is one of the best members on things electrical, IMO
