I live in an apartment in New York City and put in two dedicated 20A lines and a brand new panel after discovering that the old panel was manufactured in the 1950s, and had been declared a fire hazard. I had the electrician put in hospital grade outlets. I bought the apartment, though, that might not be so easy in a rental but what landlord would say no to a tenant upgrading the electrical system on their own dime?
The super in my building told me that ConEd ran new wires from the basement to my apartment, in the chase, because there had been a fire in a lower level apartment years ago and the smoke went into the chase. So, I lucked out, I guess.
I run a massive Gryphon Colosseum stereo amp driving a pair of Gryphon Cantatas. The sound is clean and deep, and smooth. I don’t play loud, or late at night, so nobody has complained. I run the Niagara 5000 as a power conditioning unit and have all of my gear plugged into it, so I have an unused 20A line.
Anyway, talk to a licensed electrician and enjoy the music!
