I feel that I did not provide enough info in trying to be succinct in my question.
In my current house I have 3 dedicated lines serving my system. These lines run from the only panel. I used 2 lines for analog and 1 for digital.
The new home is a remodel of an previously built building which is serviced by it's own meter and electrical panel providing 200amps service. I have added an addition to this building which will house 2 bedroom and 2 bathrooms, one a full bath and utility room and and one a 1/2 bath. One bedroom will house the audio system. I was going to use the sub panel for this addition to provide more lines. The original main panel could be used for high current items in the utility room.
I have a experienced electrician who I consult with and helps me. Most interior wiring for both homes I did myself. I will consult with him on all aspects of my plan and adjust accordingly. He is not an audio enthusiast.
My thinking was I would use 2 10ga. dedicated lines for my system, 1 for analog and 1 for digital. Both on the same leg of the Panel serviced by 20amp breaker for analog and 15amp for digital.
My question was to solicit from experienced audio enthusiasts suggestions on which panel I should use to provide the dedicated audio lines. My initial thought were to use the sub panel.
I thank all who have provided input and hope to receive additional thoughts.
Thanks, Mike
