Install A Dedicated AC Line at home

I have had two installed in my house (20 years apart). You just want to find a licensed electrician… not that you can’t do it yourself. Expect them to look at you like you are crazy. Just tell them to do it. You will be very happy. You want two, one for your main components and a separate for your amp. Go for 10 gauge Romex unless you want to get really fancy with special wire. Use hospital grade duplex receptacle unless you buy audiophile ones.

But running 2 10 Gauge Romex direct lines will significantly improve the performance of your system. Well worth it.

An excellent point indeed. I've heard all about it on Real Time with Bill Maher (how he tried to install solar power, and all of the hoops he had to jump through).

We haven't heard from Zee (zensview) in a while, so we really don't know how capable he (assuming here) is of doing this work himself.  

Carlsbad, obviously you don't know anything about electricity and being an electrician, all you have to do is run a wire from your panel connected to a separate circuit breaker and then to your outlet it's not rocket science it's pretty simple actually you don't need an electrical engineer planning it out for you. LOL

I lucked out on my current room--the company was both residential and commercial and I tapped the commercial guys when I explained I wanted to install a 10kVA iso transformer as part of the package. These guys were used to doing all kinds of stuff, from auditoria and sports arenas to other big commercial projects. Their work was impeccable. Unfortunately the commercial group splintered off shortly after my work was done (no, I was not the cause) but I found another top tier electrician who did work on our kitchen reno and when I mapped what I wanted to do with a bypass for a Generac, he totally got it-- sort of the Fremer problem (though nobody else I know with a system and Generac has had problems). 

Anyway, it is luck of the draw. I've had some terrible vendors over the years as well. My absolute favorite guy was not a licensed electrician- so I could not have him do any electrical work but he was an airframe mechanic for cargo jets. Man, that guy was so overqualified. He was ostensibly a plumber, but maintained this elaborate boiler system we had in our last house back east. 

If you get somebody good, your life will be improved immeasurably. :)

Or, at least you won't be tearing your hair out.
