Wiring my house for sound


OK y'all, I just bought a house and need to have some electrical work done anyway. I also plan to run 2 dedicated lines for my main system (MF Nu-Vista M3, VPI HW 19 MK III w/ SME 309/Glider, Marantz 63 SE thru X-10D w/ X-PSU, etc). My plan is to mount a separate power center off my current breaker panel. I can use either breakers or fuses, but am leaning toward fuses (ceramic bases). Circuits will be 20 amp with 10 ga THHN wire. I have PS Audio Power Ports for the outlets. I intend to use Virtual Dynamics Power 3 cords into a 20 amp PS Ultimate Outlet for the integrated and a 15 amp Ultimate with Juice Bar for the other stuff. Any suggestions as to the brand of wire or anything else? I'm mostly into analog and consider the cds nice for the car and to go to sleep by. Thanks for any useful suggestions.

Dweller that is some interesting advise. Sounds like a good way for an Electrician to lose his license. There is a very basic code rule that has to do with disconnecting an appliance (that includes amps) The cord/cordcap is in fact the servicing disconnect (or disconnecting means). If you had to go to the extreme's you've mentioned you would have to wire the amp to the load side of a disconnect first. The amp would be considered a permanently installed appliance at that point. I DO NOT RECOMEND THIS INSTALLATION!!!
Gee fellas, I said it was extreme. If the amp (or whatever) employs a detachable (IEC?) power cord, couldn't said electrician pull extra wire through the outlet box, into the room and terminate it with the female plug? this would give you an uniterupted cord from the fuse box to the appliance. Thanks for not keeping me "in the box".

Dweller, If you put it that way, yea I guess you could :^) Why didn't I think of that :~(
I'm using Belden 83802 for both the mains AND DIY PCs. Nothing like consistency, eh? Nice tinned 12AWG in Teflon, and fire engine red!
