New electrical wiring specifications

Standard 20A circuits with 12/2 wiring.

Wow a lot of you guys are way out of control. Especially the multi ground rod people you’re only supposed to have one ground rod per meter. I keep hearing the song from the Talking Heads in the background about burning down the house

20amp wire and any of the highend outlets. Thay are all good.  I use Cardas. But allmof them are very good.

Especially the multi ground rod people you’re only supposed to have one ground rod per meter.

Actually that’s not true. Code allows multiple supplementary rods as long as they’re connected to the main rod which is itself bonded to the panel. Rod-to-rod connections are prescribed by code.

What you cannot have is a ground rod that is not bonded to the panel. For instance, running a dedicated 20A circuit to one’s listening room, and that circuit’s ground is not returning to the panel; instead, it is connected to its own ground rod. That is expressly forbidden, not to mention it’s absolute sheer idiocy.

That Talking Heads song, 😂🤣

@dhite71, I would run the Audio Research REF 160M mono amps with each one on a dedicated 20 amp branch circuit and 10 AWG wire. With the amps plugged directly into the wall.
