In Reply to: Dedicated power lines (sub panel or not) posted by ynot on September 30, 2005 at 06:39:36:
My electrician friend and I debated a similar setup. Do you run a bunch of lines from the main box or a single line of higher gauge and put in the subpanel. It makes a difference depending on which wire you buy and how much you need. We were considering having our romex cryo'ed, but ultimately decided against that (although it's available via cryo-parts.com).It's quite hard to tell ultimately what might sound better unless you did both to see the result. We decided to run 4 gauge from the main panel to a subpanel in my stereo room. The subpanel has four 20 amp circuits in it that run right behind my rack. I bought the nice Furutech copper outlets from Chris VH, which are extremely nice outlets.
Overall I like the flexibility of the subpanel and don't regret doing it. Is it better than 4 dedicated lines of lesser gauge? I'll never know, but I don't lose sleep over it. I'm very happy with my dedicated setup and would do it over again.
