Re: Dedicated power lines (sub panel or not)

By code in most areas if you have 20A breakers you MUST run 12 ga. wire for everything on that circuit AND 20A outlets, etc. The same thing applys to 30A breakers. 30A breakers require 10 ga. wire and 30A outlets and plugs for everything on those circuits, which includes your stereo & TV gear. Some states/countys may vary but the NEMA code (Nat'l.) seems to be spreading accross the country. Perish the thought, but if you have a fire involving your wiring and it isn't to code your insurance will probably deny liability and with the losses they're taking from the huricanes the adjusters are using microscopes.

Happy Listening !
