Wow! Thanks for all the good info but I must admit that I am unsure of what isolation transformers and line balancers are or why I would need one? Also if I have dedicated circuits on the same phase, why do I need a dedicated ground? Lastly I've been told by a pretty well respected individual that I should use THHN Strand because it is better than Romex; Any comments? Here is a list of my current system (in case it may help with understanding my situation and what I should do with the electrical: HERE IS MY CURRENT* SYSTEM CONFIGURATION- (1) 65" Rear Projection TV: (the new 2001 Toshiba 65H80) (1) HDTV/DSS Receiver: (Toshiba DST3000)* (1) DVD player: (Toshiba SD9200) (1) VCR: (Mitsubishi HSU-82) (1) PVR: (Philips HDR612)* (1) Digital Cable TV box: (GI DCT-2000) (1) AV Pre-amp/processor: (Linn AV5103) (7) AV Amplifiers: (Linn AV5105) -(3) Stereo Power Amps: Front L/R (Aktiv Tri-amped) -(1) Stereo Power Amp : Center (Aktiv Bi-amped) -(3) Stereo Power Amps: Rear L/R (Aktiv Tri-amped) (2) Front Channel Speakers: (Linn AV5140) (1) Center Channel Speaker: (Linn AV5120) (2) Rear Channel Speakers: (Linn AV5140) (1) Front Channel SUB: (REL Studio II) (1) Center Channel SUB: (REL Stadium III) (1) Rear Channel SUB: (REL Stadium III) (1) Dedicated LFE SUB: (Velodyne ULD-18 II) (9) Dedicated 20 Amp Circuits (9) Wattgate AC Outlets* (10) Richard Gray's Power Company (model 400s) * Will be ordering soon.
Really good home electrical wiring.
I am building a new HT room with 9 dedicated 20-Amp circuits and am planning on using WATTGATE's flagship 20-Amp receptacles. The one thing I am still unclear about is what type of electrical wire should be run to the HT room. I am most familiar with Romex because it is the standard for basic electrical wiring. I've been told that THHN Strand is much better than Romex. Finally I just have found out about the 8-gauge AC wire the JPS Labs sells. I am investing a ton of money into this room and want to use the best electrical wire. What do ya'll recommend?
