So I've taken the plunge and decided now that lumber is the most expensive it's ever been, I would refinish my basement. Figures. I want to have a separate circuit for my TV and receiver, to avoid feedback in subwoofers. Had that before, and isn't fun to track down and mitigate. I've been told that if you want to avoid ground interference through audio components to keep receivers and amplifiers on the same leg of the panel. I've also seen the discussion of isolated ground circuits.
Would a plain 20A circuit suffice or would an isolated ground be better? I've also read the flip side of that coin, and IG circuits are lightning rods directly to whatever components are on it of its in the wrong setting. Since my basement is unfinished now is the time to get any wiring out of the way since I have access to everything. Sparky's out there, thoughts? Home theater guys?
