What type of wire for dedicated 20A AC lines?
I got some very good advice about dedicated lines, including from members here and from Chris Venhaus at VH audio. Here's a compilation of some of that advice. If there are multiple dedicated outlets... Wires between the breaker panel and the de...

"Objective opinion" is not as clear as "fact" -- to me. Because opinions are typically thought to be "subjective." But as long as you think it's precise, I'm happy to leave it where you think it should rest.
