It makes perfect sense about power starvation pertaining to the dedicated verses shared lines.
Warrenh, like sidssp stated, you should notice at least some improvement in macro-dynamics or dynamic headroom when you take the sub off that line and put it on another. Even though you could hear the ill-affects at louder volumes due to absolute starvation, you are still potentially starving your amp even at lower volumes. Just not to the same degree but the difference is still usually audible.
It's amazing what sonic improvements one can experience by installing dedicated lines and it's the cheapest of upgrades. Anything containing an amplifier should idealistically have it's own dedicated 20 amp line and circuit and all other components should have 15 amp dedicated lines. And it's equally beneficial when one installs another dedicated line just for digital and yet another just for the pre.
And once you have dedicated lines installed, you will still benefit more when you install good quality power conditioners on those dedicated lines.
-IMO
