Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed!


I brought my electrician out to my house today to show him where I would like to install a dedicated 20a circuit for my system.  He laughed and said that's the stupidest thing he's heard and laughs when people talk about it.  It said, if you're going to do it, you have to have it separately grounded (shoving a new 8 foot rod into the ground) but even then, he sees no way there can be an audible improvement.

Now, he's not just an electrician though. He rebuilds tube amps on the side and tears apart amps and such all the time so he's quite well versed in audio electronics and how they operate.

He basically said anyone who thinks they hear a difference is fooling themselves.  

Personally, I'm still not sure, I'm no engineer, my room's not perfect, and I can't spend hours on end critical listening...  But, he does kinda pull me farther to the "snake oil" side and the "suggestive hearing" side (aka, you hear an improvement because you want to hear it).

I'm not taking a side here but I thought it was interesting how definitive he was that this not only WILL not make a difference but ALMOST CANNOT make a difference.

Did not know they had 30 amp receptacles i used them before the breakers i mean.Just thought it would let more current through?Not a electrician but know how to wire up stuff
I have pr of coda tm monos rated 800/8 ohms double down to 2ohm running through Shunyata cyclops v3 figured i might need 30 amp maybe not, Did not hook em up yet so i will have to figure what i need, All dedicated lines Maybe 20 amp if i hooked up seperate
Is there a difference using 30 amp breakers instead of 20 or just overkill 
Does it matter either way
Thanks
