My power is in and different than what other people are doing. I decided to isolate my digital from my analog.
I have 3 30 amp 220 volt circuits feeding my stereo with 10 gage wire in my new dedicated room. The circuits are feeding 3 power isolators two 3 kilowatt isolators and one 5 kilowatt isolator. The isolators are transformer based units. The 5 kilowatt isolator has two 110 volt feeds, one for analog and one for digital. The 3 kilowatt isolators each feed 1 mono block amp. I am using hospital grade copper plugs to feed all my gear.
This seems to work well for my system. The isolators are located under my house on a concrete slab off so I don t hear the hum. I like using 220 volt better so you dont have to run a neutral line to the isolator. Seems like to me the neutral line is where a lot of the noise comes from.
I am moving into my new stereo room. Everything is on hold now. I trying to get power installed and then I am going to start room tuning. Pictues will follow.

I added a Steve Blinn Designs custom rack. I had special butcher block boards custom made up in the Maple country. I really like the way they turned out.

I just discovered Elrod power cables. I added one to the Sony 5400ES player and it made such a big difference making the sound richer overall. I then added one to the preamp which made my bass better. I then added one to each of my new Spectron monoblocks. This seemed to add more layering to my sound stage. I can't believe the difference.
I have just recently added the Savoy speakers. What a plus.
I have up loaded pictures.
My cables are a mess. I have been trying different ones. I am still waiting on some.
The rug is my tuning device.
Teddy has the most important job of all approving all new stereo components.
I added dedicated circuits with 20 amp breakers which made a big difference in sound.
