| Your One Bullet Point Solution; Electrical Upgrade lowrider57, thanks for the input. I think it's a wise move to have an alternative configuration re: sub-panel. | |
| Do speakers take time to warm up? We're not talking tube related warm up here. At least I'm not. | |
| Your One Bullet Point Solution; Electrical Upgrade I'm not considering a grounding rod. | |
| Your One Bullet Point Solution; Electrical Upgrade The plan at this point:200ANew main panel w. 40 slots - copper bus, better breakers(Leave sub-panel in place just in case a transformer needs to be put in-between main panel and sub-panel)Whole house surge protector on main panel If there are prob... | |

| Your One Bullet Point Solution; Electrical Upgrade Summarizing, it seems that as long as I seek panel with brass bus, better quality breakers, and 200A and surge protection on any panels, then the primary question is:Any benefit to having separate, dedicated panel for HT/Audio room? | |

| Your One Bullet Point Solution; Electrical Upgrade Maxwave, thank you! This seems like what the electrician was recommending. | |
| Your One Bullet Point Solution; Electrical Upgrade I can do either 100A or 200A. The pedestal and panel has not been purchased yet. If I do 200A, then my 100A subpanel is toast? Need to get 200A subpanel? FYI for all helping; I added subpanel when building Audio room, as the main panel was too sma... | |
