When we get an electrician in here, I've been giving thoughts to trying to isolate the music room's electrical circuit from the rest of the house. We are going to have to essentially orphan and rewire the whole house anyway. However, the mains panel will be in the area of the music room. The line drop from the utility pole is on that corner of the house, so moving the panel is probably not an option. I can ask but I suspect it will be not recommended.
Is this likely to be a source of interference affecting my gear? I had thought about asking for a separate ground for the room, my thinking was that not being on the same circuits as all the motors of the HVAC, fridge, microwave, disposal, bathroom vent fans etc would make for cleaner AC. But if the location of the mains panel is problematic anyway, is there still any value to trying to isolate the music room's electrical circuit?
The other side of the cellar is closer to the end of the house where my brother works and sleeps and it has substantially less room. It is a last choice option and I'd really rather not go that route.
Has anybody had a basement studio/music room that had to share with the mains panel? Did it cause issues?
