Dedicated AC lines???

If you are searching; then I highly recommend you search already existing threads on this site. There is enough material on this subject for months of reading.

I am using the PSAudio Power Port, and it seems like it made an improvement in the dynamics of my system, however the more I learn about electricity, the more I believe it's best to stick with high quality copper like in the FIMs. I would buy a FIM to try it out, but damn, I just spent $50 on the PSA, and I'm trying to upgrade my preamp, so the FIM will have to wait.

One complaint of the PSA; I just bought and connected a CinePro Power20 and the PSA doesn't hold the 20AMP plug as tight as I expected it to/should.

My electrical tweaks consist of the following:

o PS Audio Power Port outlets for each circuit.
o Foundation Research LC-1 and LC-2 in-line power conditioners for each component.
o Three dedicated circuits/lines(two 15 amp, one 20 amp).
o Custom 10 gauge 99.95% OFC romex for each run.
o All audio circuits running from same phase of 115 volts at service panel.

Sugars right, there is a lot of info. in archives on this; but it's a pet subject of mine because I've gotten such substantial improvements in music quality by improving my electrical system. The FIM 880 outlets are truly excellent, but the audiograde Hubbells are copper outlets that are very good too, and at 2 for $25. from the Cable Co. are something of a bargain. I've never heard of audiophile breakers, but some have mentioned that JPS sells HQ wire in bulk. I just used stranded 12 ga. copper for ded. lines. Good Luck. Craig

If I were to wire a dedicated line I would use Aluminum flex
(indoors) or if the line had to run outside EMT.( Or weather-tight flex. Ask your electrician.) Try to avoid using romex if possible. Use solid wire THHN 12ga.(20amp)/10ga. (30amp current capacity). Try to have as few
possible splices (when using a wire nut to join two wires together, lay wire side by side then twist on wire nut) Use
a seperate ground wire the entire length of run. Be sure all
metal boxes/conduits are properly grounded. Use high quality
electrical outlet. As far as audio grade circuit breakers/
wire, I'm not aware. Look into VansEvers power conditioners.
(www.vansevers.com) Hire an experienced, knowledgable electrician (hopefully one that's an audiophile too!). Make sure you explain and they understand what you want done. I hope this helps. Billk
