comparison of different dedicated AC line types?


Im getting ready to move my audio system to another part of the house. I'm wondering if anyone has had any experience in comparing a regular dedicated 12 Ga romex line feed to a greenfield (flexible metal conduit) dedicated 12 Ga feed line? Also has anyone tried to terminate a dedicated line with an IEC and plug it in direct to your equipment?

It's an AC line. Nothing special is required. 12 GA should be fine unless you have very large amps. An AC power line is a noise source, so it is silly to shield it.
The whole point of an audio equipment power supply is to stabilize and clean the power to the electronics. If you have adequate current carrying capability, you are fine.
