Really good home electrical wiring.

Albert-I have not made a decision yet on the outlets. I was planning to put in Hubble, and then found Wattgate's web page and was intrigued so I called them. I was surprised when I learned whom I was speaking to on the phone; it was Ray Kimber (Kimber cable). Ray told me that they take the Leviton (which he felt was slightly better than Hubble, but said both were very good) and improve upon it. He said no matter what I did (Hubble, Leviton or Wattgate) I would be happy but said the Wattgate was the best choice if I could afford them. In addition, Ray is the one that recommended THHN in lieu of Romex, he said that it was what he was using. OTHER: I am living in a relatively new home (six years old) and I believe that we are the only ones “on” the transformer. Have you tried the Richard Gray Power Company? I have ordered (6) of them so far, but was planning to buy a total of (10).

Recres-The "stranded" THHN was recommended to me by Ray Kimber (Kimber Cable), he said it was what he was using. Have you ever tried (or heard about) the 8-gauge wiring that JPS Labs sells for wiring your home?

What ever you use, make use it listed for use in Dwellings and complys with all the requirments of your local Building Department. Signed "Your Local Building Inspector"

THHN is available in solid core, and is used in most commercial buildings for 120 VAC in either 10, 12 or 14 gauge, depending on the expected amp draw for the circuit. The solid core does sound better to me than the stranded, and heavier gauge generally helps the sound. My listening room has a separate sub-panel, with 3/4 inch minimum conduit ran to the dedicated outlets. The nice thing about running conduit is that if you hear about an up-grade, you can change the wiring in your walls without getting into the sheetrock repair. I can't tell you how many times I've tried different wire brands and gauge size on the different outlets, but it has been a few. It all makes a difference.

Thanks for reminding me! I forgot to mention to tie it to the ground the power company gives you. Thanks for the correction.
