First, go to the forum search field and type in "dedicated." That will being up an extensive list of threads. If you still have questions, come back here and ask.
Installing a dedicated AC line
I'd like to plug my amplifier into an outlet with a dedicated AC line back to the breaker box. Any suggestions on which Romex line to use or other steps to reduce noise and improve isolation? What can I do between the box and the outlet to improve my system? I've searched some DIY forums without much help. Thanks.

If you want audiophile wire, you can buy cryo-treated Romex from Ven Haus Audio. I haven't tried it, but I have tried a cryo'd interconnect and an AC outlet. I like the difference, so the Ven Haus wire might be worth it. Another good idea is a premium AC outlet, hospital or audio grade. And some people use isolation transformers on their dedicated lines--bigger ones, in the 3 to 5 KVA range. Ven Haus AC wire |
Go to Virtual Dynamics web site. Look at the BX armoned 10ga. cryoed house wire. They also had cryoed outlets and breaker at one time. This is what I use from my sub breaker box to my outlets in my dedicated ac line. I also have an isolated ground which really helps with noise. PS audio also makes some very nice outlets that I use in my HT system. Brian |
