RE: Dedicated AC Line Concern

If I was to have a dedicated line installed,I would prefer to have one continuous run from the breaker panel to the outlet but maybe in SC, it is code that wherever there is a junction box, that the line must be spliced. U could call another electrician and ask him/her what the code is.

"Being the good anal audiophile that I am, after he left I shut off the new breaker, removed the wire nuts on the splices, Wonder soldered the connections, and re-installed the wire nuts."

I have done the very same with the line that feeds my main system and on the 2 daisy chained outlets preceeding my main outlet, I reattached the wires to the outlets by wrapping them around the screws instead of using the speed connections.

"I'm still not comfortable though, still feeling that one continueous run would have been better than one with junctions."

If it turns out that it is not code to have the splices at the junction boxes, I would have it rewired...by a different electrician of course :-)

"As it was the electrician thought I was nuts."

LOL, most of them do but I have run across a couple that share the same fanaticism that we do.

How does your system sound with the new dedicated line?
