I ran 50 feet of 12 awg romex connected of course to a 20 amp dedicated breaker at the panel. The other end terminates at a Audioquest NG Edison receptacle. I use two power strips, a Audioquest Niagara 1200 (connected via AQ Z3) and a Furman PST-8. The Amp/integrated is connected to the Audioquest’s provided high current outlet via AQ Thunder, and most source components (streamer, turntable, cassette deck, etc) connect to the Furman via AQ X3’s. Seems to be all I need for now. Installed myself, on the cheap. AQ’s Garth Powell designed Furman’s PST-8, when he was with the company.
Questions on Dedicated 20 amp home wiring
Hello, I live in a home that is 45 years old. I have purchased a lot of equipment recently and would like to add a dedicated outlet. I need some help and was wondering if someone has a contact for someone to consult with. I have the following questions:
1. what gauge wire should be used
2. Any specific Fuse that should be used
3. Any specific outlet that should be used
4. I have 11 sources, 2 solid state amps, 1 tube amp, 1 pre, 1 phono stage, 2 turntables, 1 tuner, 1 cd transport, 1 DAC, 1 streamer. Can I use a single outlet or is it better to run two?
5. I'm using two Decware ZLC power conditioners each with 6 outlets, wondering if I can plug each into a single outlet plug and call it good after the home wiring has been completed?
Thank You
