Sorry to be reviving this dormant thread, but I have some additional questions that I'd like to ask to solicit your opinion.
Is it possible to have a truly dedicated power line in an apartment building? It seems that one could rewire one of the circuits perhaps to only feed the system, but wouldn't that line be still shared with the rest of the tenants in a general sense? In other words, if a 20 amp circuit in my apt feeds small appliances in the kitchen, would using it for the system only be what people refer to as a "dedicated line"? Since other tenants also have that circuit and might be using their blenders and microwaves at the same time as I listen, would that mean it is not a truly dedicated line? How isolated are individual circuits in an apartment from other tenants' circuits?
My neighbor, who also happens to be an audiophile, had an electrician rewire his air conditioner line to 115V for use with his system. He calls it a dedicated line, which it most likely is during the winter months, but if the rest of the tenants living on the floors below him and in the rest of the building are blasting their ACs in the summer, wouldn't that affect his "dedicated" line?
