Shunyata, Separate Circuit for TV
I got me a new room for listening and TV/movies watching that I am setting up. I am going to have a couple of dedicated circuits pulled for my sound equipment. As far as power for a new television is concerned, is there a significant benefit to the TV being on its own dedicated circuit? As far as power cords— I am still selecting the TV so I don’t know what termination the PC will need but if it works, I have a spare Venom 3. Would that be an improvement over stock (a dumb question? If yes, then please change the question to “how much of an improvement?”). If the answer to the “improvement” question is “yes” or “ a lot”, and I can’t use the Venom 3 (wrong termination), then recommendations for a budget-friendly PC upgrade from stock would be welcome. My system currently consists of WW Silver Eclipse on most components and Venom 3s on the remainder.
Finally, I have an Oppo BDP-105D (for music and ripping SACDs) and some DVD watching, and an Oppo BDP-203 for movies, concerts, etc. For at least the near future, the sound for video will be 2-channel. Does it make sense to power the BDP-203 on the same circuit as the TV or the circuits with the sound equipment? Either way, the BDP-105D would stay on with the sound equipment. Thanks

I would put the video system on its own line primarily for ground loop issues. Be sure to use a cable TV galvanic isolator to prevent ground loop from the cable coaxial line.
Most newer TVs use mini-power connectors such as the C7, C7-p or the C5. We make the Venom V14 power cables that are available with all of these connectors. We also make a Venom V14 adapter that allows you to adapt any standard (C15) power cable for use with device that use the mini connectors.

I'd put the video on its own line anyway, but that's just me. If your dedicated lines are properly spec'd and installed, you shouldn't have any problem. Quote:
