Something that I’ve wondered about, electricians use staples when running cables. Any audible effect ? (as long as they don’t pierce the jacket).
Time for dedicated outlets!
I would like some advice on what exactly to tell my electrician to be sure I get what I need. Is just saying that I want two separate dedicated lines to the listening room sufficient or are there other key fraises that should be included in my description of the work I would like done?

I ran two independent 20A circuits for my system and one thing to consider is whether to put your circuits on the same phase or opposite phases. I did the latter and run my monoblocks on one circuit/phase and the rest of my gear (preamp, phono stage, TT, DAC) on the other circuit/phase. Some folks argue to run the same phase as it minimizes issues with hum, but I believe it’s best to run opposite phases - there shouldn’t be any hum issues if it’s wired properly. My system is very quiet hooked up and wired this way. |
10-2 use silver paste to coat the wire ends before attaching to breaker ,better yet would be to install breaker panel sub box near where it enters wall and use a grounding rod driven in to the ground 12' 5/8" dia.,then you eliminate ground interference from main supply and of course use a audiophile outlet preferably quadplex and also use silver paste with the connection,helps prevent corrosion in the future ,had very good results with this method. |
