I was actually just discussing this issue with my local audio store. I'm in the middle of building my home theatre. 3 mc 501's in the front. The dealer recommended i run three seperate 15amp lines from the box using 10 guage wire. He added that this would reduce noise pollution and create better over all sound to my 501's. He also said that i should run a seperate 15amp circuit with the 10 guage wire for the rest of the gear rack which is placed in back of the room. Can anyone help me,, will i really b safe and happy doing this?
AC Power - two circuits better than one?
Reorganizing my system starting from the wall receptacles (rewiring is not a possibility) but quickly ran into a conundrum. Is it better to source power for my audio system from several different circuits or one dedicated circuit?
More info: I have three possible options. Two 15 amp circuits (1 shared with a couple of lights the other with several wall receptacles including a pc) & one dedicated 20 amp circuit (but with only one single duplex outlet). I have mono blocks, power amp, preamps, digital & analog audio sources, & digital HT gear.
Should I distribute my system across these three circuits or try & source them all from the single dedicated 20 amp outlet? If distribute, what kind of break down makes sense?
