Amp and preamp on same outlet?

Just how much of a no-no is this? ARC goes as far to print in their manual to say to have the amp and preamp on their own circuit. I live in an apt. and I'm forced to have both plugged into the same outlet. Cords just don't reach....How much sound quality is lost by doing this? It sounds great as is, but is there a major detriment to this? I'm curious.

The first step is to be using a dedicated AC line. If not, don't plug into a line that shares use with high-draw items like appliances.
Get 2 20v dedicated lines, then you can follow ARCs advice; one line for amp and pre, next line for components.
