Given all that needs to be done, especially with all that rewiring, I don’t think it would cost much more to have your electrician run a dedicated line of 12/2 to a 20 amp breaker, and connect that to a pair of those hospital grade outlets in one room. There’s thicker 10 gauge noise rejecting audiophile type cable available - but that will be pretty expensive and maybe not really needed, in my opinion, however if I had to do mine again I would take a look at something like JPS Labs cable. I used to have an old style 100 amp service panel that took push button breakers that seemed to loosen up over time. I was glad to have the new 200 panel installed, which has the kind that switch left/right. Whether that made an audible difference I can’t say, but it speaks to the need to have tight connections. And on your outlets, insist that the terminal screws are used, not the push in connectors. I’m also a firm believer in power conditioning and/or regeneration, which you can save up for.
Audio tips for rewiring old home
We purchased an older home that requires a lot of electrical work before we move in - a new breaker, a new receptacle connecting to the city power, and probably some rewiring bc many of the outlets are not grounded.
Would appreciate any audio-related tips that I might keep in mind as we do this. I don’t have a lot of extra funds so probably won’t consider a dedicated power line. But I was thinking of adding a few hospital grade outlets in rooms I would likely have a system in, and perhaps try to include data cables so I can plug in rather than use wifi. Any other ideas? Tnx
