Are two dedicated lines better than one?

Sorry if this has been discussed before,but next week my electrician is coming to put in a dedicated line.I need to connect my Lamm LL2 preamp,ARC Classic 60 amp,Meridian 588 CD Plyayer,SME Model 10 Turntable and ARC PH1SE. I was going to install one line with 4 outlets but I have 5 components.I do have a Chang conditioner that I can use but would it be better to have a second line put in while the electrician is here? Do 2 lines introduce more noise than a single line? Is it better to seperate components to different lines? I would really appreciate any advice!

I have also done the same as several of the other responders. Two lines; one for the front-end, and one for the amp. The cost is minimal, but the impact was worth it! I would not go back to one circuit again. I also recommend 15 amp for the front-end, and 20 amp breaker for the amp.
Go for it!
