Dedicated Outlet Advice Needed.....................

Posted by Cut-Throat (A) on November 10, 2005 at 14:45:04

I am starting a project in my basement to Add Cabinets along 20 feet of wall. This will house all of my Audio Gear and LCD TV and DVD player etc.
I am also planning on adding dedicated electrical circuits, since the wall will be open and access easy. Not that I'll actually hear any difference, but I'll 'feel' better about it!

I was thinking that I'd add a dedicated circuit for the:

1.) SET Monoblocks and Subwoofer

2.) A dedicated circuit for the Source Components (CD, Tuner) and Pre-amp.

3.) And another for the TV, DVD player and HD Tuner.

Then I started thinking about potential ground loops (It seems I always have a ground loop between the HD Tuner and the Pre-amp of my Audio System - never could get rid of this one!)

So the question. What is the ideal dedicated circuit layout for what I am doing? How many separate circuits should I have and what should I plug into them? And what amp circuit breakers and gauge wiring should I use?
