No It is connected to same ground at the panel. The electrician said isolated means isolated from other grounds down stream of main panel.
The phase change did make the lines ultra quiet. Among few pluses to the sound at first listen: Increased liveliness, dynamics and jump factor, minimum grain, more focus. Minuses: slightly smaller images, less warmer than before (I had almost zero unnatural highs)
Well, Thanks for all the responses. Both for break-in and not. Thanks for the fun guys. Like I said I expected this to be considered by many a stupid question of the day ;-) I researched the archive and did not find anything about dedicated power lines break-in so I thought worth asking your experiences. Of course, I tend to believe credible answers are the ones from those who have dedicated lines installed and went thru 'learning/listening" experiences first hand.
I do believe in cable break-in (for reasonable amount of time) and thought the brand new wires probably need run in time.
Oh well, I still have my 15 amp regular outlets to fall back to get my original perfect sound back. I will let new lines burn in though for a week or so, just to find out (for $$$ total costat least I should give it a try- those Oyaide outlets and front machined Alum plate ain't cheap , nor the lines install cost)
I will report back.
Keep the responses coming. Happy New year to all.
