Am I hearing things?

I just an extra  new dedicated line run beside the other one. with 10 gauge wire, 30 amp breaker and a 20 amp rated outlet. I don't think it sounds as good!!! What the hey. A little shrill in both vinyl and CD. I'm comparing from what it sounded like last night. Does electricians wire, breaker and outlet have to burn in? Am I alone in this. I'm have a whole system AC but in and the temp got up to 80. Maybe that is why. Also I'm listening at 11 am EST. So the power grid may have an affect. Did I just answer my own question or have other people experienced this. The original dedicated line was put in in 03 with 12 gauge wire, 20 amp breaker and a 15 amp outlet. Are these 2 lines picking up interferrence?

I totally agree with cleeds.
The exception would be a 30 amp breaker with the correct size wire feeding a sub-panel and from the sub-panel use 20 amp breakers with the correct size wire.
I also agree with others that said to use the new dedicated line and outlet for some break-in time, I don't pretend to totally understand the concept but break-in time is important. When you aren't listening to the system run a fan on that new dedicated line and outlet.
