Dedicated line vs. power conditioner


I've pretty much found the gear for my "keeper" system. Now, I'm turning my attention to the little things that make a system sound its best. Which is the better tweak, running one or more dedicated power lines to my audio gear, or investing in a high quality line conditioner? I've heard arguments both ways. Some say the line conditioner is better because there is "junk" coming in even with a dedicated line. Others say you'll never know true power and dynamics without a 20 or 30 amp line. Any thoughts?

Simply unloading the multi-tapped house circuit will absolutely not come even close to comparing with the superior performance of a properly engineered dedicated line. There are normally multiple connections & wire splices along the way through the house to that 'outlet of interest'.
However you can compare by running a "temporary dedicated line" strung across the floorboards etc. to your rig, but be prepared to follow up with a permanent installation because once you hear it, you won't put up with house wiring ever again.
