I misunderstood what you posted in your previous post.

You said:
"I went a small step further and contacted my electrical company to install a separate 220v line to my house. It cost me around $600US, from there I had an electrician install a new breaker box for the 220v line and move the lines that feed my room to the new service."

to the new service.

I took it you had a second, dedicated, electrical service installed at your home for your audio equipment. Therein two electrical services at your house.

I looked at your profile and it says you live in Japan. Thus my response "Not possible in the USA to feed Audio equipment". Japan may allow more that one service to a house...

Here is what I based my response on in my previous post.
2020 NEC ARTICLE 230 Services (Same for the 1990 NEC code).

2020 NEC
230.2 Number of Services. A building or other structure served shall be supplied by only one service unless permitted in 230.2(A) through D.

Nothing in 230(A) through D would warrant an additional electrical service.

FWIW the AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) in your State, County, or City has the Final say. BUT with that said IF the Utility Power Company strictly follows the NEC they can refuse a hook up for a second electrical service on the building,.. house in this case.

My apologizes...
