Really good home electrical wiring.


I am building a new HT room with 9 dedicated 20-Amp circuits and am planning on using WATTGATE's flagship 20-Amp receptacles. The one thing I am still unclear about is what type of electrical wire should be run to the HT room. I am most familiar with Romex because it is the standard for basic electrical wiring. I've been told that THHN Strand is much better than Romex. Finally I just have found out about the 8-gauge AC wire the JPS Labs sells. I am investing a ton of money into this room and want to use the best electrical wire. What do ya'll recommend?

I like 10 gauge solid core, use 8 only if it's solid core. It is available, but difficult. A good description is in the new s'pile of a guy with 2x 200 amp service, and wired all audio out of phase with house. Definitely use dedicated ground, better yet-3 tied together. For what all these folks pay for power conditioning (usually worse), serious ac is much better.
