120V or 240V
I agree with Kurt tank......Something else to think about, after market power cords. You can not use a standard NEMA 5-15R or a 5-20R 120 V receptacle on a 240V branch circuit. 
Dedicated lines- need break in?
Nilthepill,Glad to hear the electrician terminated the safety equipment grounding conductors in the same panel the branch circuits are fed from. As for the sound you are now hearing, if I understand you correctly, you were not using the R1 recepts...

Finally had 2X 20 amp dedicated lines installed with Oyaide outlets with isolated grounds.12-29-09 Nilthepill isolated grounds.? Do you mean connected to an earth ground other than the main earth ground of the main electrical service? 
Dedicated Circuit - Quad Receptacle Question
Theunderlyingtheme,L1 and L2 alternate every other breaker down each side of the electrical panel. Here is a diagram Glen B, a member of AA , supplied in a post. You should not load up one leg, line, with all the 120V heavy load appliances. The 12... 
Dedicated Circuit - Quad Receptacle Question
I assume you are going to hire an electrician to do the job.Have 2 dedicate lines ran instead of one. It won't cost you that much more.Wire, NM-B (Romex example of) minimum size 12-2 W/grd. (One cable for each duplex receptacle/dedicated circuit)H... 
what do you use to remove your tubes?
Donjr,Curiosity killed the cat, did you pull the tubes? Did you have any problem putting them back in? Beats me why a manufacture would recess a tube in a well.... http://www.uptownaudio.com/rogue/Titan.htmLooks like the best way to pull the tubes...

What happens if I plugged a 20amp unit..15amp outl
I already have an electrician about to make the change for me......12-17-09: RapogeeRapogee,You will need a 20 amp branch circuit then. #12 awg wire minimum with a 20 amp breaker.Just an added note if the breaker trips on occasion due to start-up ... 
What happens if I plugged a 20amp unit..15amp outl
Rapogee,You used the word "requires". Did you choose that word or was that from the manufacturer's owner manual. For a required 20 amp receptacle/20 amp branch circuit the FLA (full load amps) would have to be greater than 12 amps. That would be a...

Lissnr,If I understand correctly the ceiling in the room is the bottom of the 2x4 roof rafters? Vaulted ceiling, is that correct? Did you install some type of ties from outside wall to outside wall along the eve side of the two long walls at least... 
Cold room, Bad for equipment?
When not in use, laying some thick bath towles over the tube gear should help avoid condensation issues. 20-30 min after listening just lay them over the gear.12-14-09: BlindjimNot sure that would be a good idea. It may actually do more harm than ...

switching from isolated ground receptacle
Hifitime,Actually it does makes sense. Table 210.21(B)(2) Maximum Cord-and-Plug-Connected Load to Receptacle, says the maximum cord-and-plug continuous load that can be connected to a 15 amp receptacle is 12 amps. For a 20 amp receptacle the max i... 
switching from isolated ground receptacle
They need to revise or clarify article 210 in the NEC in my opinion.12-06-09: HifitimeHifitime, which section?Article 210 of NEC 2008 has many new changes....Just one example, NEC pretty much made miltiwire branch circuits a thing of the past. 210...
