Dedicated AC lines???

Kotta, are you recommending the use of aluminum wire for wiring a house or circuit ??? As far as i know, that is against the law now, or at least it is in Illinois. Someone needs to clarify this. "HEEEEEEEY Glen"......

If you are recommending aluminum wire, what do you see as the benefits to doing such as compared to equivalent copper wiring ? Sean

Sean your right on Aluminum wire has been banned in Canada for a Long time.Its your worst possible choice and I have allways been told that 10GA Romex is a good choice.

I used 2 conductor twisted, stranded, silver plated, teflon insulated and jacketed 8AWG copper wire into a Power Port, (had to ream out some plastic on the outlet to accomadate 8AWG). Sometimes (often) my system sounds too bright. Didn't notice this so much before putting in the dedicated line. Could the silver possibly account for this?

aluminum is inductive and therefore susceptible to RFI.
does somebody know the cost of the JPS in wall cable?

Sean, I'm sorry to have caused confusion. I do not advocate the use of aluminum wire. What I meant was that, if possible, use Aluminum flex in which to put your Solid copper THHN wire in. (This would be practical in an installation in a attic. If the run had to be made outdoors,
then whatever the electrical codes would detate the choice of materials.) Sometimes you have no choice but to run romex. If one is able to have a choice, IMHO, having solid
copper THHN wire inside of Aluminum flex, is a better than having
a run of romex.(I believe it has to do with the proximity of the ground wire where it is situated in romex.)How much of this
has a sonic effect is debatable. Any dedicated line properly
installed will improve the sound of your components. Bill
