Outlets and Wire Gauge? - Please help!
I finally contracted an electrician to run two dedicated lines - a week from today! I have been reading thread after thread and the consensus appears to be going with 10awg wire for the 20amp run. My problem is two-fold:
I simply want to install something good that's going to feed a Puritan Audio PSM156. I am now running ADG Gran Vivace monos. I prefer a rich midrange.
Additionally, I asked for both a 15 and 20 amp run. People suggested I do this so my sources can be run off the 15A with amps / subs off of the 20A, but someone here mentioned ground loops? I am not well-versed in things electrical. Ideally I would like to know if I should stick with the two runs, and what would be a few good choices for each outlet if I do. @jea48 @erik_squires ... I have seen solid advice from you on the topic of outlets, but they lack things specific to awg and outlet type.
Thank you in advance!
PS I estimate the length of the run to be approximately 50', max.
I also have the AQ Edison nrg outlets but I am running 10/2 to them. Did you back wire your outlets or wrap the wire around the screw? I found it very difficult to wrap the wire so I back wired mine. The screw seems to clamp down fine but I am wondering if I should try to wrap the wire around the screw. Have you tried both ways and could you hear a difference between the two ? Thanks ! Ron |
Ya why all the post deletions? Is it @jea48 posts getting deleted? His input and knowledge are always well received and appreciated. |
