Electrical supply home wiring project
Hello all,
I am looking for some helpful suggestions in designing my electrical power supply to my combined home theatre and two channel system. All of my components are presently solid state.
I have two 20amp circuit breakers that I intend to dedicate to my system. My circuit breaker box is about 20 feet from my system. I am having a licensed electrician do the work.
Here are the components to my system. A 52 inch LCD television, TIVO DVR, Yamaha RX-Z9 AV receiver, universal disk player, Classe CA 200 amp (200 watts into 8 ohms), a Classe CP 35 preamp (line level), classe CD player, vpi turntable, Simaudio phono stage pre-amp, velodyne DD12 subwoofer, and possibly other components down the road. So I need at a minimum, 10 outlets, however, to make room for expansion I should probably plan to have 12 to 14 outlets.
I am looking for recommendations on how to provide these outlets. Should they all be hard wired, should I use audio grade outlets or separate line conditioners? How should I configure the outlets to minimize interference? Any recommendations on the type and gauge of wire? Should I use separate power conditioners or power conditioning outlet strips?
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
