The subpanel is great idea. Then I would run the 10/2 which will allow you to use both poles of the panel and i would also just wire each outlet as circuit. You will never overload each circuit and use a 20 amp breaker, the 30 amp might make your components absorb too much overload before it trips. You might check into the new Romex 14/4 w/ground that would give you greater skin effect than the 10/2 since you would have 2 14ga leads for each pole.
10/3 or 10/2 to each outlet?
Going to have electrician install 4 dedicated lines from my main panel. If using 10/2 to the outlet, both plugs will share the same circuit. Am I better off going 10/3 wire with a hot wire to each plug and sharing the neutral and ground as in a 10/2 setup? What are the advantages or disadvantages of going 10/2 vs. 10/3 wire? Should I be looking at a subpanel with my runs going to be approx. 30-35 ft?
Outlet 1 - Dual mono amp with 2 cords
Outlet 2 - processor and Dvd player
OUtlet 3 - Cd player
Outlet 4 - Tube preamp
This is the plan, at the moment. Where would you put a 5 channel amp with the above? What would you switch around. I also will use a 1 duplex Stealth mini Digital conditioner and a Regular (3 duplex) conditioner. Would you use 10/2 to all outlets or go 10/3 with some? ANyhow, I value your insights and thank you all for the lesson in electricity. Cheers. Dave
