Need advice on good, clean, stable power

Lej1447,
It is always best to try and run your dedicated line on its own path. However, in a finished construction insallation, this may present a problem. If you have no choice but to run your line along the same path so be it, but try to keep them seperate. As far as patching holes in the wall that would be your choice. I have an extensive backround in finish construction and patching wall holes can be a real PITA, blow-out patch + joint compound + dry time + 2nd coat of joint compound + more dry time + sanding mess + paint matching..... Get the picture. Try to make as few holes in the finished wall as possible, less work for you.
Hope to have been some help.
Good luck,
Rodge

Oh man, I got the pretty PITA picture. :> ) Along the new baseboard, it is.

So you have tested all the toys, such as Panamax AC and Monster AVS, against the dediclated lines. Is the difference substantial? Can you tell that the amp is not restricted and bass is more tight as most have written on A'gon? No more humming problem? What is your listening preference?

lej1447,
Lets clarify a few things:
A "dedicated line" is a line from one breaker to your system.
An "isolated line" is a dedicated line with an isolated outlet in use. An isolated outlet is a specific type of outlet, that looks different from a normal duplex. When you go to H-Depot ask to see an isolated outlet, and compare the two. At H-Depot the isolated ones are orange with a small triangle on the face, weigh more, and cost about $18.00. There are also vendors here on A-gon who sell isolated outlets for audio. Look in the tweeks section for a few. These will cost you more than H-depot approx; $40.00. This is the type of line I am using. All together this tweek should run you about $100.00 -$150.00, breaker, isolated outlet, 12/3 wire,etc.. All of this type of outlet have the small delta on them and will state "for hospital use" on them.
So to answer your questions:
1) Yes the difference is substantial, at least in my system it was.
2) Your bass problem may or may not have something to do with your power situation.
3) Your humming problem may or may not be cured by this process, without being at your place, a true diagnosis of the problem is next to impossible. In other words many things can cause an amp to hum, Dimmer switches, halogen lights, AC units, an improperly grounded panel box, etc...
4) Mostly acoustic jazz, blues, some new age, art rock, whatever i feel like listening to at the moment, i have a pretty large disc library.

Doing an isolated line is just a begining point. Will it cure all your problems? Maybe
My system consists of: 20amp breaker, Cryoed 12/3 wire approx. 50', Cryoed iso outlet, BMI Shark IPLC, to various BMI power cords.
One other thing, this type of line does not offer any surge protection, most of your main streem line conditioners do.
An iso line is just the begining you may still need some sort of conditioning, or surge protection.

Remember all good sound starts at the wall, after that take it as it comes.

how do you people feel about the different receptacles
(commercial,hospital) on the dedicated line.
I am in the process of setting this up and wonder if
the expensive hosp. grade is really worth it on a dedicated line. I also would like to know if isolated is worth it too.
Sorry LEJ1447 if this post is interrupting your thread.

Saki70,
It's all valid. I have the same question as you do, but I have not gotten there yet as I hope the dedeicated lines will do. If not, that may be next. If hospital receptacle is the case, I can always get electricuted at home first, check myself into the hospital, and try to remove those receptacles at night. How many do A'gon members need? :> ) Actually, I have seen some ads for those hospital-grade receptables, but I haven't seen any review or feedback from any audiophiles.
