New power service

Likely  not code north of the border yet  would be my guess

@lak I have 6 dedicated  lines into my room. All on 20 amp circuits all on the same leg of the box. All the wires are the same length in the wall to the receptacles.  Mostly furutech  rhodium  top of the line receptacles 55 if I remember  the number correctly  and two with the top of the line gold receptacles. Everything  needs  a week to settle  in but first reaction is a huge change for the  better. Got rid of the aluminum  wire and the new wire is copper. And with the old meterbase that was burnt out of the power delivery a total of a huge difference.  Thinking  that I had most of it right or close to it that the power feed into the house showed how bad it was. Lol I was trying  to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. I was surprised at the betterment I was hoping  that I would not be down grading.  I never would  have had this done but I needed more power for my woodshop. So the woodshop produced its first beautiful  piece of art!

@carlsbad yes that is likely  the burns look old the service  to the house was redone 20 years ago and likely  that is when it happened. I was luck because  the house is in an area where they upgraded the wiring  so I can put in the two hundred amp  service.  At one point if electric  cars really end  up coming about I got the service upgrade for free except my end after the meter. That will not stay that way if everybody  wants that. 

@jea48 no it is underground  from the back alley. I had the line hydro vaced  so the cuty did not have to splice the line to the new service the line goes into the garage  and main panel there and the house is a sub pannel now instead of the other way around. I didn't  like that idea but from a practical  standpoint  that was the only way. I read one time that dan de agustino paid the utility  company  to change the wire to copper all the way back to the transformer that fed his house. It was a few blocks and cost a small fortune  at the time. He went on to say how much better his  system  was. Lol thirty years later i thought i would make sure i had  copper feeding the house. Lol i dont have that kind of cash to go all the eay to the transformer but copper from the city's  junkson box to the meter and from the meter to my house. 

@soix  if you do decide  to look into it. Have them take the meter off the meter base that took about half a minute  the meter has a couple of large  spades that push into the receptacle.  Lol kind of like a king sized plug in. I should see if I can take a picture  of mine and post it. Thinking a bunch of magis is from the meter base replacement.  Thinking I might end up listening  to the different  receptacles  and plugs on power cords again things have changed enough  it will likely  be easier  to come to a judgement but a fellow might change his mind.

@ erik_squires what would you suggest for one. I have never cares for any type of surge protector  in my system  tried a bunch  years ago and I just gave up on the idea and plugged everything  directly  into the receptacles. Most years I unplug the solid state stuff during  thunderstorm season  and listen to the tube system  instead  it gets turned off each use.
