Dedicated power
I'm looking to run a dedicated 30a and dedicated 20a line to my system directly from the fuse box.
I currently have some florescent lights and some other junk on the line so I'm hoping it will be an improvement. Things sounds like they are straining somewhat when you crank things up. The amp will go on the 30a line and the digital stuff on the 20a.
Anyone done this and saw improvements?

As others have stated, there is no reason for a 30 amp line. One dedicated 20 amp line with a good multi outlet power conditioning unit like a Furman SPR-20i should suffice. However, before you even go that far, try using an isolation transformer on your current connection. Don't worry about all the "mod videos" telling you that you need to fool with the ground system. That only comes into play for work benches where you could screw up and electrocute yourself. Any non-audiophile/hospital grade unit from a reputable company like Tripp-Lite will do. You just want to verify that you will hear an improvement. If you go cheap and get noticeable results, spending more money for a pricier unit probably won't make enough of a difference to justify the additional cost. |

Extreme isolation transformers don't "bring noise", they are specifically designed to reduce noise, and transformer hum is a mechanical noise that doesn't necessarily translate into signal stream noise. |
