Thanks to all who responded. I will be using the JPS In-Wall from the box and connect to the FIM 880's. Fortunately, I have a short run! A fellow A'gon member had 2 FIM's that didn't suit him. I figure they will be the right choice because of the higher copper content proposed to smooth out the sound somewhat. $125.00 is best price I can find for the Wattagate 381 and that's beyond my sanity level. Further conditioning is yet to be determined? I'd like to praise Joe of JPS for being very helpful and informative! A great guy in the audio world.
FIM vs. PSA powerport vs. Anything else?
I seek the collective knowledge of all A'gon minds for the best ideas, plans, and products to install a dedicated line for my A/V system. I have read much here regarding the outlet debate, but still can't conclude. What's more interesting for me is fault/surge protection. I now have tandem Tice Solo's for AC pure and protect. I'm aware and concerned about the current limiting, etc. debate. Does one even need AC conditioners after installing dedicated lines with top quality materials?
I'd prefer protection at the panel box, but need help with the what, why, and hows. I'm also aware that 10 awg is preferable, but other than JPS Labs Power AC In-wall cable, I have not found suitable wire. Are there any compatibility issues to consider such as JPS cable and FIM outlets not getting along well?
I believe if you're going to do this it ought to be done right A to Z. Are there audio-grade CB's? I don't want to go broke doing this, but will expect maximum performance if making the effort.
I'd hate to stitch up the incision and then wonder if I forgot something? Thanks everyone for the input! Dave
