Post Subject: A dedicated line: single phase vs. three phase?Posted by N-set on: 12/30/2013

Firts of all apologies for not going through all 49 pages of the thread and asking probably a well known question with a well known answer.

I'm slowly gravitating towards that black hole of a "clean power". As a first obvious step I'm thinking of a dedicated line.
I live in a town house from the 50ties. There is a power distribution box directly in my apartment (it's an adapted attic),
so taking a dedicated line directly from the box should be a very easy task (where and how the box is connected to the
house's grid no idea). I have there both the single phase as well as the three phase power (the latter
powers a water heater in my flat) and here comes the question: is any of them better for an audio dedicated line?
That is, is stripping the three phase down to one inherently better/worse than a direct single phase line?
Having zero experience here, my intuition tells me the three phase *might* be cleaner without all the computers,
dimmers, led lights etc, but sure I am not.

Thank you for any input,
N-set
