Sometimes, it's just a matter of luck. Our house was built in 1952, the original wiring was two-wire, w/o ground. The boxes are all metal, and are (from all I've seen) grounded separately from the circuits. It's dead quiet, zero hum. In the twenty years we've been here, we've replaced the fuse boxes with a modern breaker panel, replaced the original meter with a 400A meter socket, re-did the service drop, replaced much of the old two-wire with modern Romex w/ground, as I've been able during remodels, etc. It was a fairly basic arrangement, done well (for the time), and wasn't ever botched up.My only caution to anyone would be to have the work professionally done, if you aren't certain what you're doing. Goes double, if you're in a multi-family dwelling.
Going to have a dedicated line installed- What should i know to ask for?
Im going to have my electrician install a dedicated line or two.
He is a very experienced professional electrician, but not necessarily very familiar with the Audiophile world.
What should i know to ask in advance so i can save money later?
As a note- My main draw is a pair of Joule-Electra VZN-100 OTL's that draw about 800w together.
Rest of m system is pretty Avarage:
Merlin BAM(Fixed eq box for Merlin speakers)
Tube pre
DAC
CD Player
Miscellaneous low power devices.
Thanks!
