Dedicated AC Line or Upgrade Equipment?

I am wondering how many of you out there have dedicated ac line for your audio system. I have heard that getting a dedicated ac line does wonders for your system.

By dedicated ac line I mean either having a sub-circuit totally dedicated to your audio, or in some cases, running a separate 20-amp ac line with its own electric meter. In the extreme case, I have heard that people have bought power generators (no - not the PS Audio kind) to power their entire audio system so that they can get the optimal audio performance.

I am thinking about upgrading to a class A amp on my system. However, I am concerned that without a dedicated 20 amp line, I may never get the optimal performance out of the class A amp. For example, I currently bi-amp my main left/right speakers with a Krell KAV-1500 5 channel amp (class AB). In the owners manual, Krell advises using a dedicated 20 amp line to get the optimal performance out of the amp.

So is it a moot point to even think about further equipment upgrades when the source of my audio system is not optimized - that is, when I don't have a dedicated ac line.

I like to hear from people who have experienced with dedicated ac line and whether they think it is worth getting a class A amp before one has a dedicated line.

Thank you for sharing your insight.
