Installing Dedicated Lines.... Need advise


Ok I plan to run two dedicated lines of Romex 10/2 wire about 60' each. One will be for my Receiver and Rotel sub amp. And the other for all my digital.

Question one: Should I say.. put the analog plug to one side of my sound stage, and the digital to the other side, that way the amp wires will be seprated by like 6' or so. Or is it ok to run them all to the same area?

Question two: I plan to use a Maestro socket for the amps, is it ok to go with a simpler Porterhouse for the digital?

And last, if money is an issue, would you run say Home Depot Romex 10/2 to the digital, and use VH Audio 10 on the amps?

Make sure you hire a qualified electrician who is also trained in stereo home installations. We can thank the popularity of home theater custom installation for electrical installation designed to reduce ground loops, hums, isolation etc.

My electrician suggested a separate pony panel from my main system. He also put in a large surge suppression to protect my equipment that would not impact sound quality. He also recommended separate lines for analogue and digital. All lines were designed for 20amp service.

Any electrician can wire a system for audio, but it takes good electrician to wire a system for both power and performance.
