Dedicating circuits and fancy power outlets

I’ve assembled the following system primarily through fine Audiogon folks like you:

Conrad Johnson Premier 12 mono amps
Conrad Johnson Premier 16 preamp
Conrad Johnson DV 2b CD player
Conrad Johnson EF1 phono preamp
SOTA star, SME IV, Grado
Magnum Dynalab MD102 Tuner
Shunyata Hydra conditioner w/Python cord
Tannoy Turnberry speakers
Stealth PGS IC’s

I’m pretty content with this setup. The only thing I’m considering now is dedicating a 20 amp circuit and buying a Shunyata ZR-71 Audiophile Outlet. I talked with an electrician about doing the work and he said it would make NO difference in the quality of power supplied to my system (and thus no improvement in sound quality). With consideration that the quality of the electricity in my area is good, do you feel he’s correct?

Thank you,
rbschauman

One man's opinions...

Yes, do it.
Yes, you will hear an improvement.
No, it won't be earth shattering.
Yes, you will still be happy you did it.

One man's suggestions...

-Consider using VH Audio's 10 gauge cryo'd Romex or something similar.

-Consider using a Maestro outlet or a SR Teslaplex. I've owned both. I've also owned the Shunyata SR-Z1, which I didn't care for. (I have no connection to any of these companies)

-Ask your electrician to run the shortest possible line, and to avoid running the new line close to other AC lines.

-Ask Jim (Jea48) any other questions. He knows this stuff backwards and forwards.

-Have fun.
