Hi Jel; I had a dedicated system put in a year ago by an electrician. They ran a heavy stranded mainline from the main breaker box to a sub-main box (10 ga. is fine, but I had 6 ga., so they used it). My sub-main is on an outer wall. Then from the sub-main box with 4 breakers, they ran stranded wire in pvc tubes to 12 ga. Romex and to 4 duplex Hubbell receptacles. I wanted one duplex outlet for digital (transport + DAC), one for analog (pre-amp + acc.), and one for amp(s), and I had an extra duplex for misc. use.
If you're going directly from your main breaker box to duplex receptacles, you'd probably be limited to Romex for safety reasons. Also, unless you have more than breaker available, you'll probably be limited by space in the main box to attache the wires. IMO, at a minimum you want 3 duplex receptacles. Installing a sub-main (as I did) increases cost and complexity, but greatly increases flexibility. My whole dedicated AC system, including additional ground, was about $850.
BTW, it was all worth it as noise floor dropped dramatically and clarity improved dramatically. After the up-grade, I had to go to good quality custom power cords to get rid of increased brightness (the sound of the OEM cords apparently). Good Luck. Craig
