I just moved into a new house and want a dedicated line put in for my audio system.
I had an electrician come over to evaluate the location and running 10g wire.
He went up in the attic and also checked outside for a possible way to route the wire
using conduit..
He finally said, Bob there's is just no easy way to route the wiring in your house due to the vaulted ceilings and Gable roofs. He said there's hardly any room in the attic to route the wires without drilling a lot of holes into the drywall just to fish the wires down to the
location. He said he could do it but it would cost too much and he didn't want me to spend the money so he suggested just tailing into the existing circuit on the wall but using my Hubble receptacles.
He's actually somewhat of an audiophile himself and understands about the dedicated lines.
So without a dedicated line and ust tailing into the existing circuits, am my compromising much in sound, if any? He's also going to install a whole house suppressor
