High Current Outlet for Amps?


I am told to plug the power amp straight to the outlet rather than the power conditioner. Since I am remodeling my home so  I am going to have electrician to install the outlet, one outlet per amp and each outlet has individual circuit breaker. Then he asks me if I want 20amp or 30amp since I told him high current.

what do I need? 20amp or 30amp circuit breaker? Thanks.

Audio Research specifically cautions that a power conditioner may or may not be the best solution - they don't say what to do tho (except to see your dealer).  I find that dealers rarely have EE degrees so don't rely on them.

Anyway you can decide that later... since there is no real cost increment, just get everything you can under your code (usually nearly the same all over the US if you are in the US).

You could wind up using a pure DC setup with ultra-capacitors or batteries fed by solar cells anyway...

Since you are doing a remodel, now is the time to think about the optimum dimensions, and construction, of a perfect listening room...

 Your homes physical location on the utilities grid can result unique noise issues that may require specific filtering or regeneration. The same goes for RF issues.

I found in my remodel that increasing the service amperage from 200 amp to 400 amp came with a new run of cable off the utilities grid. 

I used 20 amp breaker's in the new service panel but I loaded 10 gauge wire within metal BX conduit uninterrupted to metal  receptacle boxes (which may not be code in your area) to deal with RF issues in my area.

I doubled up the solid core ground wire from the new panel to a new larger and much longer ground spike. Not only were my RF issues gone but I noticed improvements in most all of our electrical devises. 

I had dedicated circuits put in (2 x 20A for my amps, and another 15A for my source components) and would recommend it.  My amps draw a lot of amperage but more importantly is that the circuits are isolated from other sources of noise that share the same circuit.

It's a no brainer if you are already in a remodel IMO.
