I'm in the begining stages of mapping out my HT. I'm droping a sub panelinto my basement to power it and my office. I just have a few questions.
1) Should I use isolated ground outlets for my equipment? All the equipment will of course be located in the same are but I didn't know if isolated grounds would be necessary
2) 20 amp vs 15 amp outlets/breakers. I was thinking of using 20 amp just as a fail safe but is there any reason why I shouldn't use 20s.
3) Power conditioners/surge protectors. I live in a new townhouse in a new development but I assume its still a good idea. Any suggestions. I would like to keep it on the lower end of the money scale. Under 200 if possible or even lower if I can get the job done.
Just to clarify I'm planning on a projector, svs sub, a new tuner something like the Denon 2805, htpc, dvd player, and just to plan ahead satellite. Those should be the major power requirements.
