What is everyone using for dedicated AC lines???

I need to buy some dedicated AC cable.

What is everyone using? Romex?

I want the best performance, I will tear out the cable when I leave the house. If its not up to code, oh well, I'd rather have better performance anyways.

I thought about 10/3 Romex for the amp and 12/3 for the CD/Preamp.

What do you think?

Please, no arguements over this I need to buy cable ASAP!

Highend64: I think that you are correct. Due to the air gaps located between the stranded conductors, solid cabling of the same gauge offers slightly more material to pass power through than an equivalent stranded version. I could be wrong here, but that's what i remember. Sean
