New Subpanel?
Now I know why you want and need a sub panel. If you have the money you may want to consider another option, an isolation transformer with an electrostatic shield like that of a Topaz. Feed the transformer with 240V, transformer output 120V. The o... 
New Subpanel?
I asked you questions about distances. Why do you need, want, a sub panel? Is your equipment a long distance from your main service panel? You mentioned the sub would be 120/240V, are you planning to feed the 120V audio branch circuits from each l...

restocking fees
RestockI know we have a different "buying philosophy" here. But to be even more controversial: Yes, I would buy from the small manufacturer rather than supporting the local dealer, even with a reasonable "equipment trial charge". At least in that ...
