How many dedicated lines?


I'm planning on running some dedicated 20 Amp power lines to my audio/home theater system. My question is how many separate lines should I run? I've heard of one audio system where every component practically had its own line. Is that overkill? Would two or three lines suffice for an entire system? In all, I have about 11 different components that need to be plugged in. Thanks for your help.

Good suggestions and comments. I have found three 20-amp lines and making the complete power connection to equipment the best I could was better than the extra costs and grounding issues that getting beyond 3 lines would get me into. Good sockets, power cords and power controllers got me solid results. The DIY types in http:\\audioasylum.com really have shared recipes for getting excellent results for less money. Take a look in the search engine.

1 for two mono block amps (PS 600)
1 for analog front end (PS 600)
1 for the digital stuff connected to a dedicated the Chang or HTS connected to a dedicated Chang Lightspeed 6400 mkII s.

Music and HTS never are on at same time - period. I guess I don't mind switching in the one Chang for the other.
