RE: Getting house rewired including dedicated audio.

I'm not at all qualified to comment on the results attained in the article nor do I know the method the contractor used to ground my home VAC system.

Built in the early 70's my home used aluminum cable between the main and the panel. Romex fed both the audio and HT systems before the BX upgrade I mentioned.

Before the upgrade my PS Audio HCA-2 switching amplifier could be heard through two clock radios. It produced a harsh edgy presentation that fluctuated randomly. My Pioneer Kuro plasma also displayed random interference.

After the upgrade the audio and HT very noticeably better. Even my tube electronics worked dead quiet.

As I said most VAC system and their supplies can differ greatly. In my case the Romex and/or the way it was executed was absolute shit. The contractor didn't find anything out of the ordinary with the original Romex run. So if I'm losing something by using BX rather than Romex it's just fine with me.
