One dedicated circuit for each mono block?

If I have a dedicated 20 amp Circuit is that ok for two monoblocs? I read that a separate dedicated line is better for each amplifier. So the outlet can't have two plugs but it's better to not use one of the two plugs when connecting a mono block?

I have a transparent Power isolator which I know use to plug amps into.

So maybe a dedicated circuit can be used to plug amps directly into and then have Power isolator connected to a separate Circuit for everything else.

I am trying to evaluate the merits and to need for getting a second dedicated line while installing the first.

Your power isolator is probably undoing all the good that your dedicated line is doing.

I have 2 circuits in my dedicated line.  But I don't have monoblocks and I don't anticpate a use for the second circuit other than to put junk on that I don't want on my audiophile line.

@jumia   I have my stereo sysem plugged into one dedicated line.  

So anything that might have noise associated with it such as a wall wart gets plugged into the other line.  So no, it doesn't affect my system any more than something plugged in at the other end of the house.
