Remodeling - what to do - power


I am about to start a remodeling project. I have heard about dedicated lines for audio gear. Is there a particular wire or outlet one should use. I know someone has gone through what I am about to do. What are the do's and don't's to look out for.

Thanks.

You might consider purchasing cryo-treated 12 or 10 gauge romex house wire for the lines and most any cryo-treated audio-grade outlet is worth the little extra in quality of construction. Two of the better ones I'm aware of are the Oyaide and Furutech.

It's also good to know that all Furutech products are cryo-treated.

I would suggest planning on every major component having it's own dedicated circuit/line or at the very least 3 dedicated circuits/lines. 1 for the amp, 1 for the digitial, and 1 for front-end analog.

Idealistically, if you think you need 3 dedicated circuits/lines, then install at least 5 for future growth.

The whole process is rather inexpensive and well worth it.
