Re: Dedicated Lines

I will share one of my greatest and most deep rooted philosophies of hi-end music reproduction. We ask our equipment to take moving electrons that our power company so kindly delivers to our home and transform those moving electrons into moving diaphrams that will elicit an emotional response that will erase the crap of the day and prepare us for a better tomorrow. Some of us more simply expect it to get our foot tapping. In either case it's asking alot and I hope you can understand that ANYTHING you do to improve the delivery of the power will improve the performance of the system. If you can swing it, spend the approximate $3k it'll take to rewire your home from the street with the best wire you can find that is applicable to the job. I promise you will not believe your ears!

Hello Tfta. What kind of wire do you recommend?? Thanks, Jel

I am a big believer in dedicated lines! ... The more the better, but the biggest difference will be with the 1st. I have three: one for the front end and one for EACH of my large Krell amps. (one 20 amp and two 30 amp lines)
As far as your question about one for digital and one for the preamp: I am sure that it wouldn't be a bad idea, but I found that the inexpensive PAC Idos, which separates the digital grunge from the analog equipment, really works.

I ran 12g lines to duplexes, 1 for each amp and 1 that a power supply went in to. Noticeable improvement in virtually all aspects of the sound and dramatically decreased noise floor. This is a huge bang for the buck.
