dedicated power line for audio equipment
Dont use anything less than 10/2 romex,cerrowire.Bryonc's suggestion...wow, nice stuff($).I dont know that theres any differance between 10/2 romex or cerrowire.The 10/2 provides the current though.

Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences?
My kwi 200 has about 180 hrs on it so far.Its a very detailed sound stage,bass is tight and extended.More than that you can here the (playing)subtlties.Its a less forward sound than the i5.3 was.Dan say 300 hrs for burnin so by then should be able... 
Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences?
