AC Power Question

I use Acoustic Revive EE 2.6 solid copper 10g. in wall cable to Furutech GTX R NCF outlets for the digital front end, preamp & amp each have there own seperate 8 g. solid core copper to Furutech GTX R NCF outlets, this is a huge improvement over standard Rominex 10g. stranded wire especially with the amp and preamp having there own separate dedicated lines.

I don't know if its NRTL tested or if it can be used in the US, Ive been living in Vietnam for 8 years now, I left the states 22 years ago and have no idea whats allowed or not allowed as far has electrical code.

The ebey link does not show the proper EE 2.6, ( I only see two internal wires)  all the EE 2.6 I have seen or purchased came with three internal wires, neg,pos, grnd.

I meant Romex, I think 10g solid is fine for digital gear but for analog 8g. solid made a noticeable improvement.

Just got my electrical inspection a few days ago. Inspector kept asking me why I put in 10 gage wire and an outlet that didnt cost 1.49

I put in a dedicated 20A line that feeds a P15 regenerator. With everything running I'm not even pulling 5A. 

I can't speak high enough about the monumental change the regenerator made to my system

Its amazing how this simple subject always gets bogged down in complexity and code and comments, usually from people who've never done and so don't know what they're talking about. I've actually had the standard normal house wiring, and then run a dedicated circuit, and then run an even better dedicated 240v to a step down transformer. Say again, I've actually done the wiring and listened and compared.

Your best cost option is to put everything on one single circuit, conservatively rated. i.e. use 20A even if you could get by code with 15. Do not run two circuits. If you do then put all your audio on one, all non-audio (record cleaner, lights, etc) on the other. As someone correctly noted it takes only a very tiny difference in ground potential to produce hum. Again, I know for a fact and from experience you can and will get hum when different components connected to different circuits are connected together. Different manufacturers follow different construction so that what looks the same is not. i.e. just because you see a ground plug does not mean the manufacturer connected those pins with a wire! So you may sometimes get away with it. Or you may just give yourself a headache.

One circuit. KISS. Capiche?
