How do I get good sounding, clean electricity?


A'goners, I am about to build out my basement for a home theater and I have the chance to do the electicity and wiring properly. However, I'm not sure what "proper" is.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what makes for good clean electrical power? Should I set up seperate circuits from the main (which I am doing anyway). Should I use any special copper wire, connections or outlets, what about this cryogenic thing, conditioners, etc. I'm in the US with 112 volts.

I'm not too anal (yet) but while building out the basics if there's anything wise to do first, now is the time.

As always, my sincere thanks for any input.

This can be a very pricey endeavor, but one that is well worth the $$. You're on the right track as far as recommedations go. Dedicated lines first. At least two. Certainly, the more the merrier, but two will be very cool. Live we that awhile. Then get yourself an excellent power conditioner. I use Audio Magic, but Sound Application, Shunyata Hydra are both excellent choices. Now, you're almost done. Live and listen to your new electric. Then, get yourself some nice power cords. Go with the best from power conditioner to component. Dedicated outlets to power conditioner cords; you don't have to go gaga over, but, still, should be excellent. Now you know what you got? Electric nirvana. Now pray your system can deliver the goods..peace, warren
