Dedicated Power Line - Directions for Electrician?


My understanding is that having a dedicated power line from where my electricity enters my house, to the outlet where I plug in my audio components would do a great deal to improve the sound I am getting from my system.

My guess, however, is that a regular electricion might not know optimal way to do this. How I can describe to the non-audiophile electician what kind of wiring, AMPS (110 or 220 or whatever) and set up to do.

Is there someone here who can tell me exactly what I need to do to have this work done is such a way that it will result in the best power set up for my system (Mac c-46, Mac 352, B&W 802D's)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

1. Run 10 gauge solid copper romex. 2. Get very anal about making sure you have a rock solid ground(s) back to the distribution panel. 3. Use 20 amp receptacles, 4 outlets vs 2 can be very handy. 4. Running a second circuit is optional, sometimes you are better off tieing all stereo equipment to a common receptacle. 5. Make positive sure that you do not run any other heavily loaded circuits in parallel with the cable(s) to your stereo. IMO, that's the way I wired my system and I like the results. I prefer to deal with digital equipment noise by use of a power conditioner downstream of the receptacle. FWIW.
