I'm with Guillaume on this one and run separate spurs for each bit of equipment. I went nuts a while back and put in 4x 10mm2 spurs (with additional 10mm2 earth cables on top of the 4mm2 earth you get with ordinary mains 10mm2 cable). I was never happy with this - it lacked dynamics. After six months or so an experienced dealer told me 6mm2 was way superior, and I changed it. He was absolutely right. I kept the Devialet on a separate spur though due to the noise measurements from the Audio Prism. The question is - is this right? Many forum articles tell you to put everything on one spur and use a distribution box, perhaps with equidistant earth. This is almost becoming the norm. I've read articles from respected tune-dem folks saying that is more musical. Problem is every time I test this with the Devialet I end up preferring it well isolated from everything else, it's a tricky one...
