High Current Outlet for Amps?


I am told to plug the power amp straight to the outlet rather than the power conditioner. Since I am remodeling my home so  I am going to have electrician to install the outlet, one outlet per amp and each outlet has individual circuit breaker. Then he asks me if I want 20amp or 30amp since I told him high current.

what do I need? 20amp or 30amp circuit breaker? Thanks.

I have Three dedicated 20 amp circuits with dedicated copper ground stakes. I have Shunyata power cables and a Hydra Power Conditioner. Shunyata told me to plug my Parasound Halo JC1a directly into the Shunyata wall receptacle.
Make sure that you electrician uses 10 gauge cable. Code is for 12 gauge.  Many electricians will try to talk you into using 12 gauge. You Need the 10 gauge for that instant power that a power amp needs at times.
