What is everyone using for dedicated AC lines???

10/3 should be sufficient for all lines and as mejames says, would definitely meet or exceed code.

Look for an aftermarket 10 gauge solid core 99.95% OFC flavor.

PartsExpress.com used to carry such a product for about $30 per 50ft. roll I believe. You can certainly get more exotic than this type of house-wire, but this should level of quality would suffice.

And is much better alternative to the Romex brand found at home depot.

I have great sound and I am using Romex brand 12-2 and 10-2.

Other option is 6 or 8 gauge wire and 240 volt, provided your amps may be switched. I got a small but very noticeable improvement both times amps were run in this configuration.

Even with 240 and several 120 dedicated lines, your cost will likely be less than buying audiophile power cords.

No question audiophile power cords are beneficial, but dedicated lines are a huge bang for the buck, even if you later decide to go for aftermarket cords as well.

Stehno, we must have been posting at the same time. If Parts Express has 10 gauge OFC copper for about the price you quote, it must be considered as an option. I can't imagine better quality copper NOT providing superior results.

Wish I had known when I ran my dedicated lines. I may consider upgrading later.

Hi, Albert. It is obvious to me that I actually posted first. :)

I'm looking at the Parts Express catalog #21 on pages 55 and 141 where they have a heavy duty 10/3 power cable that is 99.9% OFC. However, it is stranded and I thought it was solid core.

Their price for this is $33.15 for 50 feet. But there should be a few other places to check for quality solid core 10ga. but not many.

I bought my solid core 10/3 99.95% OFC house wire from a friend who had quite a bit of custom made for his new listening room which has perhaps 20 or so dedicated lines throughout the room.

Hope this helps,

This is the same cable that SignalCable uses for their MagicPower cable. I had it and was not impressed as much as I am with the ChrisVH series cables. IMO. I would just use romex, but can anyone chime in who has used this carol cable vs. romex???

Thanks!
