Hello,

I have read many threads on AC and other resources about dedicated lines and have gotten myself pretty confused.

I am having an electrician come by to take a look and let me know pricing for running dedicated lines and adding an outlet so I can ceiling mount my home theater projector.

My questions are for the people who have done this. 

What would you do differently or what has worked out really well?

I do not know for sure which wire to use as I have read conflicting info on this.

I am considering having my panel replaced since mine is about 30 years old.  I have read about Square D being the best for panels and breakers so that is what I will plan on unless I am convinced it won't make a difference or there is a better alternative.

I am also planning on using Porter ports unless there is something that will be an improvement over his outlets for a reasonable amount of money.

Last would be technique for running the dedicated lines since I do not know if my electrician has done this for any audiophile before me. 

I have searched the threads and gotten some basics but I read too many differing opinions so I wanted to ask this here where I always seem to get pointed in the right direction.

Thanks for taking the time to help.

Sincerely,

Nick

A dedicated line is like an icing on the cake as far as audio and video quality.  Just make sure you use A licensed electrician.  They know which wires to use for a 20 or 30amp line and ground them properly.  One can spend an arm and a leg if you go with esoteric parts.  I would get an estimate first.  You can then see how much you have left for other tweaks .
