Well, it's done

Here's what I've done... I've got 12 ga standard romex running into the attic from a 15 amp breaker in the fuse box and this line also has it's own ground rod... in the attic is a small junction where the 14ga shielded stuff runs down the wall into the recepticle.... All the amps (200's and 755) are running off of that plug and the sources (950, dvd, vcr, cd player, etc) are running off the old wiring...

I'm also using my own power cords on the 200's and the 950 made out of that same shielded stuff.. the 755 is using the stock cable cuz I don't have the right end for the amp..

I had had a problem with my center chanel interconnect picking up emi or rfi, but once I switched that to shielded it became silent.... Everything works wonderfully the system is completely silent on any source when paused, muted, when no signal is present, anything... no hiss no nothing.. But I don't know if the wiring is doing any good at all since I changed absolutely everthing at once (speaker cables, interconnects, preamp, amp.. all of it)..

It's nice when a job is done! Because you've run a piece of #12 romex, you can put the wire on a 20 amp breaker if you choose. By being on a 15 amp breaker their isn't any harm.

I went overboard on my installation of power for my system. Even though it hasn't any effect on the power coming into the house I ran 8 dedicated circuits with metal clad cable. This is to supress any transient noises generated in the house from getting on the lines.

I posted elsewhere in the group about a whole house surge supressor at Home Depot for 40 dollars
