| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! I mentioned "ganged outlets" in the above post. I believe -- with "believe" in quotes -- I understand the term. If a dedicated line is involved, "ganged outlets" means several outlets (receptacles) connected to that one dedicated line. Have I k... | |

| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! jea48 (Jim) Not all low voltage cable installers are created equal.Did you ask the electrical contractor who he uses? A quote was obtained by whom our custom builder uses and I obtained one from a locally quite well reviewed (over 300 samples) i... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Good unique suggestions terry9. They're accepted even before a contradiction. Was you experience a jaw dropping one when you first heard your system with "braided shielding for power lines"? Multi-function tweaks, what's not to like? Room res... | |

Well NOW, if you are BOTH s... | |

I was on the AVS Forum yesterday searching for what folks were doing to their dedicated H/T rooms. All I saw pertained to SOUNDPROOFING -- i.e., stemming the sound between floors and rooms; which I really don... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Al, if you don't understand it, I'm not knowledgeable enough to speculate one way or the other. It would take about 3-minutes of typing to describe what I know about the electricity subject. Here goes: I can re-set a circuit breaker, screw-in a ... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Wow Jim, GREAT response!! Ask and ye shall receive. Thanks so much for your recommendations. It sure helps me provide specific instructions to the electrician; whether I fully understand the technical logic behind the instructions or not. Wiri... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Thanks Al and Jim. For the uninitiated and untrained, this whole house wiring area as it applies to audio (and video) is a black hole of information. So, while your comments are helping me, hopefully having them in one place like this, will do s... | |
| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! Jim said: I assume the house will not have a basement or crawl space. You said in a post the branch circuits will be installed above the ceiling joists/rafters/attic space area. The house does have a walk-out basement. In fact, that is where... | |

| Whole House Mains Wiring -- Ping: Jea48 (Jim) -- & ALL Others for your HELP! And the cable is?
