Main vs. sub panel for dedicated lines


I am building a second home on my property. Will have a dedicated audio room. I will be routing 2 or 3 dedicated lines for my audio system. The high current devices for the home will be run off the main panel. I will install a sub panel supplied by the main to accommodate power for 2 bedrooms and a 1/2 bathroom.  

Question, should I run my dedicated lines off the main or the sub panel? I could move some of the high current devices to the sub panel if needed.

Thanks in advance for advice.

Different philosophies regarding dedicated lines. Use one line if all your component’s amperage is less than the 20A breaker. The takeaway is no ground loop.
Use more than one line if separating digital and analogue, running high current monoblocks, or running subs. Lighting should be moved to other panel. Certain lights and dimmers will cause hum to audio system.

These circuits should be wired into the same leg (phase) in the service panel. In your current situation, dedicated lines should be run from the panel without the high-current devices. Although both panels will share hot, neutral and ground, the breakers are further away from the appliances that generate noise on the mains.

Two ground rods need to be drilled into mother earth according to your local code. The electrician will know this.

8 gauge Romex will not fit 20A receptacle.

4 gang box is good idea if using one line.
@lowrider57 Yeah. I should have been more clear. That’s why I said 10 or 8. I run 8 gauge into a L6-20R which then feeds a 4 gang box.
