I did experience a friend go through a few upgrades to his dedicated lines. From this experience, I can say 10 gauge was an improvement from 12 gauge, and a cryo’d 10 was better than the standard one.
In wall AC cables
Hi to my fellow audiophiles. I am installing an new electrical panel as part of a renovation. As such, I would like to install a few dedicated in wall cable runs to my audio system and welcome your advise regarding best cable to install, brand, gauge, amperage etc. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge with me.

cleeds, Your workaround would result in the smaller wire being the rated value. So, don't use a pigtail with a smaller gauge to a larger gauge. Too bad there isn't an approved audiophile type wire to be used for our dedicated lines. With that thought, how about an audiophile breaker? Perhaps made with carbon fiber or graphene? |
ozzy Your workaround would result in the smaller wire being the rated value. So, don't use a pigtail with a smaller gauge to a larger gauge. Yes, of course, but it's perfectly acceptable to use a pigtail when de-rating wire in the remainder of the circuit, and it doesn't diminish the value of de-rating the remaining wire. |
