Electrician Coming Out To Estimate Install of Dedicated Lines

Posted by "Red" (A) on December 28, 2006 at 11:08:45

I already looked at the forum archives on dedicated lines but am looking for additional detailed advice.. I have an electrician scheduled to come out next week to estimate the work on installing 2 dedicated lines. I have a DK Signature integrated, Jolida JD 100, Modwright Sony 999, Shunyata Hydra 4 and will soon be receiving an Audio Magic Mini Stealth (not the Digital). I have Reimer Wind River speakers- I plan to connect the integrated to one line and my digital gear on the other line. The biggest concern I have is regarding hum, which I've heard can occur when having more than one dedicated line. I do not have problems with hum now. (should I just go with one ded line?) I'll be getting 12 ga Romex or 10ga if I can get the electrician to work with me. What talking points do I need to make with the electrician? What about grounding? (I really don't understand how to communicate the topic of grounding) Electricians don't seem to have a clue about the goals of an audiophile for installing dedicated lines. When I told the electrician on the phone that I had hospital grade outlets already- he said "wow you're going all out." I'm not very technically oriented either, so if you can, please answer in laymans terms. Thanks.
