dedicated outlet cost

I totally agree with Tvad.
I actually have 3 dedicated circuits. One (20A) for digital, one (20A) for Analog and a 3rd (30A) for my Pass Labs X350.5 Amp.
The 30 Amp circuit is overkill but my Amp will never starve!

so, i have just a 2 channel system, no video at all. ive got 2 dedicated outlets...only 1 digital component, my cd player. should i separate it this way? ive currently got my 2 amps and power supply for turntable on one circuit, and my phono pre, regular pre, cd player, and tuner. think id get much impact putting cd on the circuit with the amps? None of my gear draws a lot. im more concerned with source, preamps, and quality of power, not quantity as i dont need much...

I cheated. The main panel was full, obsolete and buried in the bedroom wall.

Split off from the 230V/40A oven line and ran 6/3 in the crawl space up to a subpanel in a closet. Dual 15A breakers to the 5KVA transformer and have "balanced" AC on both sides. Since 230 has two 115V hots, I had two more breakers for normal 115, all going into one big gang box. Used a GFI outlet for the balanced AC. Out of the subpanel, I used 12/2 BX and 10/4 cabtire to the tranny. As long as I don't blast the stereo while baking the Christmas turkey, the breakers are fine. The results were dead quiet even though it's not truly dedicated.

subpanel/breakers - about $100
30' 6/3 romex - $120
20A GFI outlet/ 4 ground splices/ rubber tape/ misc - $100
used tranny - $100 + $100 shipping
The rest was lying around

Considering that I have two Plinius SA100's (5A each) and the Genesis servo amp (1600W), I need lots of power.
