Dedicated mains feed

Sure, I live in Italy so I suppose there are differences indeed.

Cross-sectional area. It should really be quoted as 10mm^2, but it’s most commonly referred to simply as 10mm.

Question…theoretically should earth cables be screened…???

Ok that’s useful. The principle is the same, you want to get the Hi-Fi onto a dedicated circuit, not shared by other household electrical items. I’d suggest, if no Italian members pop up and offer advice, contacting your local Naim dealer to enquire as to what they would recommend and then seek the advice of an electrician. Your dealer may be able to recommend a suitable electrician too.

Thank you @Clive and @james_n

@james_n My electrician is willing to help me luckily, but he seems not to have done any dedicated circuit like this (I suppose he doesn’t know the specs needed), therefore I’d better contact my Naim dealer as you suggested.

Had my new three radial circuits installed yesterday. This was done in 6mm2 twin and earth to a new consumer unit.

For information, the electrician installed the following components;

  • Hager six way 100A metal consumer unit, model No. VML106
  • Hager 32A RCBO (3No.)
  • BASEC approved 6mm2 twin and earth cable
  • Schneider Exclusive GSKT2G unstitched double socket (6No.)

As in the UK all the work was done in accordance with the Wiring Regs, Part P of the Building Regs, tested and certified accordingly.

I have attached some photos showing the final result.

You should find there is a burn-in period, but should see an immediate improvement. Good job…

Is your main fuse 100A? If not worth buying one from a electrical wholesaler (mine was about £6, 20 years ago) and polishing the contacts…makes a difference believe it or not…

System was reinstated today. Now to burn it in and see how it goes.
