I also installed a subpanel as recommended by Shunyata (in their paper "Suggestion For Home Entertainment Electrical Installations") as the distance from the main panel to the outlets was greater than 20 feet. Equally important to a quiet installation is to ensure that the grounding of your dedicated lines is done correctly. This was also discussed in the Shunyata paper.

Thanks, I appreciate your advice. I told the electrician I’d have some stipulations and he said okay.
