Another thing to consider is not to allow your digital gear share the same dedicated line with your analog gear. One last thing is run 10 gauge wire as opposed to 12 gauge no matter how short the runs are as it really makes a significant difference IMO...... Happy Listening
What is considered a noisy circuit you might move to the other phase. Thanks this is great info.
