Make sure you get an electrician who has done this kind of work before (guys who have wired big home theater installations are good). There's a bunch of stuff to consider: - Get 20A lines. - If possible, get lines with isolated grounds (receptacles must be "isolated ground receptacles"). - Romex cabling is fine. - Make sure everything is done to adhere to local/national electircal code. If someone suggests "running ground to a spike outside your house", that is illegal and dangerous. - Get one dedicated line for your amp and one for your other gear. Make sure there is no differential between the grounds between these two lines, or you will get a ground loop hum. - As mentioned in another post, I think the receptacle's grip is the most important thing. I've tried cryo'd outlets...honestly couldn't tell you if it was better/worse than others (I challenge someone to actually do an A/B test on an outlet!) -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30286 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
