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.

I have yet to install a dedicated line, but I recognize the need. I have two 800 watt class D subamplifiers, 300 watt per channel integrated and all the usual bits plugged into one 15 amp plug. McIntosh, in their instructions specify that the integrated is to be plugged directly into the wall. All are plugged into the six separate circuits of the Everest 8000. Shunyata claims that each circuit can provide a momentary 30 Amps. Everything about the musical presentation is improved when plugged into the Everest and using Shunyata’s NR power cables. So, I will dedicate one 20 Amp circuit, but other than my TT motor, all goes through the conditioner.
