Yes all the lines on the same.leg. also.make sure the.lines are the exact same length Also cross the wires over a few.times on the way to the outlets. I like the bad boy furutech plugs I run both hold and rhodium I have six dedicated 20 amp circuits to my stereo
Dedicated power circuits
I’m having some electrical work done including a whole house
generator, surge suppressor, and a new panel box. I am also going to have two dedicated power lines run for my stereo. I’ve read a lot on here about how this is a really nice upgrade and would greatly appreciate any advice to help me along on my project. Right now the plan is two 20 amp circuits with 10 gauge wire. One for my amp and one for my preamp and sources. My equipment is a McIntosh MC 452, a C47 right now but a C22 in the future, Rega P8, Rose hifi 150b, McIntosh MR 74 tuner and Aerial 7t speakers. I’m also replacing my panel box with a new one. It’s a brand from a company that’s out of business and the quality and safety is suspect plus there are no new breakers available.
So starting with the breakers, then the wire and finally the receptacles what should I be looking for? The electrician that just left here is planning on the new panel being a Cutler Hammer brand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@retiredfarmer what do you mean by crossing the wires? I would separate them apart as far as possible. |
@invalid well the worst is running parallel close together. |
I have done what you are proposing. I ran 3 ten gauge copper legs off a panel box using 3 panel slots each with a 20 amp square D breakers. and the panel box had a whole home surge protector. At the terminal end I used hospital grade 4 outlet receptables on the left and right and a center 2 outlet box. The only thing I ran thru the center was my power amp, with an a tripplite surge protector between .the wall and the power amp The left and right outlets with 4 inputs accommodated all my other gear, phono pre-amp , two active sub woofers , turntable,, TV,, CD player, router, lamp, blue ray disc player, record cleaner etcetera I was amazed at the difference the current to the power amp made. TV s and power amps will have the greatest draw.
