Should I redo the AC power in my house?

I was inspired by the Michael Fremmer YouTube about how he went to great lenghts to address the power in his home. Also was urged to do so by Mike Lavigne. Thanks Mike.

Fremmer and Lavigne are thrilled with the difference it makes in SQ. Perhaps comparable to getting the next level up on all components. Mike referred me to the consultant both he and Fremmer used-Rex Hungerford of King Rex Electric.

I would not go to the lenghts of those fellows but still would do a lot. The whole job should run about $4-5K. I started this current quest interested in grounding but Mike L and Rex both highly recommended I go the full boat.

The comments over code legal has nothing to do with sound quality are accurate.

The worst electrician to wire your audio system is an old salt commercial guy.  The best would be a hand who  troubleshoots radio and cell tower issues.  Just tell him your amplifying 2mV about 60 times.

Well how is he suppose to upgrade the service? Of course it's necessary.. To what degree is the question.. He's adding service for a reason.. With a famly FULL of electricians, it's less expensive for some vs others..:-)
