He will think you’re mad.
He already knows I'm mad !
Known him for years
Did the original tweaking before we had the house refurbed with a the builder's sparky.

Duh. Yes radial.
Know what I want. I've been primed. Separate CU coming off the existing. 64 amp breaker, 6mm t&e.
The eyesore aspect is the cable may have to be surface run from hall through one or two rooms to socket

Our regular electrician thought I was bonkers when I asked him to install a radial to the hifi and some silver plated switchless sockets. He was right of course, it didn't make any difference, well not to my kit at least. When he finished, he tried to sell me a fairy light system for the garden. The irony wasn't lost on me.
jolly good though when a bulb failure knocks off the power to your house as it trips , the hifi is not affected as on separate circuit .

Once upon a time I had what was known as the full "RKR", done by the man himself; huge main fuse, separate CU, separate spurs, over-rated fuses, etc, etc. The downside is it didn't really sound any different, the upside was the place didn't burn down.
Surely under these circumstances just the MCB for the relevant lighting circuit would trip leaving other circuits intact. Obviously I'm assuming the hifi sockets aren't on the lighting circuit....
Well, all I can really say is that's what happens at my house with a bog standard split load CU.
