New Electrial Wiring..

John,I did and I'm very happy to say I have a BP-26(with the MPS-2) which I couldn't believe the improvement over my prepro.The 26 is so open,dynamic,alot more of the musical qualites I had forgotten about.She reminds me when your in a live situation or studio and the engineer or soundman gets the sound SO RIGHT.Very exciting and I'm totally satisfied.

I have seen threads which recommend that the breaker goes on the side not occupied by the furnace and big appliances.

Can you isolate further? There are some decent threads about all this to be found relating to ground hum and furnace noise on systems.

Regards,
Miles

John,
There is a dealer here in Arizona that carries the New Cardas 10ga wire for the house.Can get pricy if you are doing long runs..but really good stuff.
Check it out at www.dedicatedaudio.com

I recently had an electrician run 3 dedicated, 10ga lines for my equipment. I used 20 amp breakers for all the lines and Teslaplex outlets also on all 3. (Read the reviews) Also you want to make sure that the breakers in your box are put in out of phase with the refrigerator or furnace/ AC breakers. One outlet is for Amp and preamp. One outlet is for digital and the third if for all other front end stuff, TT, etc. Sound of my Cary stuff after completion is really resolving. Surprised at the huge difference.

Consider at least one dedicated grounding rod for the stereo. Also, Walker Extreme SST on all contacts in the box and at the outlet.
