15A vs. 20A power cord questions
@jea48 2 3/4 hours later and I can now plug into 2 Furutrech GTX-D Rhodium wall receptacles. The electrician created a dedicated 20A breaker while keeping the 10-2 AWG cables isolated from any other cables. The run is clean where it meets a juncti... 
15A vs. 20A power cord questions
@jea48 Thanks, I did not buy them pre-cooked so I'll have to be patient. I'm looking forward to listening for the changes during break-in. They will be installed tomorrow. I will provide feedback. 
15A vs. 20A power cord questions
@jea48 Thanks for this. What impact has this had on your system? 
15A vs. 20A power cord questions
@jea48 Thanks, I have two wall receptacles for him to install. Should each one be on a different breaker? Do you run the 10-2AWG to each wall receptacle? What were you trying to achieve by doing this? What have you achieved by doing this?Thanks. 
15A vs. 20A power cord questions
@jea48 I have two wall outlets he will install. How many lines do I need? Currently I have a tube integrated and a turntable..Later this year I will look to add an external phono pre with power supply.Thanks for your step by step breakdown, this i...

@jea48 Thanks, my electrician has the 10-2 with ground NM-B Sheathed Cable ready to go.  
15A vs. 20A power cord questions
@jea48 I live in Pittsburgh, PA. This was pretty informative; thanks. It was recommended to me by a US producer of speakers/cables to ground to the earth using rods and to use a twisted pair for the connection between the breaker and the outlet. T... 
15A vs. 20A power cord questions
@mofimadness @zephyr24069 @jea48 @cleeds thanks all, this is now clear to me. Regarding a twisted pair or standard cable to link the breaker to the outlet, any advantages or is it all about the grounding? 
Power conditioning from the ground up
So i've order several Furutech GTX-D (R) and they will be here Friday. I see that Furutech makes a stainless outlet cover. What is the difference between this and a stainless outlet cover from Home Depot? Will the Furutech GTX-D (R) fit a standard...

@jmcgrogan2 - thanks for the rec, I will contact him. What are your thoughts on wall plate covers? I am leaning toward the Oyaide R1 for outlets on my 2ch set-up but I can't spend $405 for the quad duplex wall cover...I just can't get there. Do yo... 
Power conditioning from the ground up
@lalitk - Thanks, yes this is only for a 2ch setup. I will most likely introduce an external phono stage and possibly a network player (further down the road) but nothing beyond that. On another note, I will be purchasing a new TV and the electric... 
Power conditioning from the ground up
Is it important to invest in carbon wall plate covers? If so, why? Does it make that much of a difference? 
Power conditioning from the ground up
@lalitk  - Regarding gauge, why do you recommmend I run 10 awg instead of 12 awg. My amp is 100w, the run is less than 100 ft. and I do not plan on upgrading to an amp with more power. In fact, my speakers are about 98 db so the 100w I have now is...

Jafant, not in the series but don't forget 'Wake Up To Find Out' (3-29-90) with Branford Marsalis sitting in...the boys are on fire (as they were most of Spring '90). Most of my friends and I break up the Dead periods by who was on keys. Pig was s... 
Power conditioning from the ground up
Thanks to all for the advice. Met with my electrician yesterday. We are going to run a dedicated line (20amp) from the breaker box to two duplex upgraded outlets (still deciding on outlets) with 12 gauge Romex wire while keeping the run as isolate...
