Single plug dedicated circuit?

I guess if you truly want to do a dedicated circuit wouldn't you have to be allowed to only plug-in one device. If you plug two items into the outlet isn't one item going to contaminate the other item with noise from the first item?

So a multi branch circuit would be sharing 4 items.
 

I guess it gets down to sharing and Best to share with one but tolerable and acceptable to share with 4 components plugged into the quad outlet?

So how many people are only using one component per circuit breaker which is the truly finest way to receive a pure signal, at least if you ignore what occurred before the current reached the circuit breaker.

Well… maybe I am missing something. But a dedicated circuit is just that… no additional outlets… that is the point. Now, it is terminated in a duplex receptacle… and you can choose to only use one of the outlets.

I have two dedicated lines… one which has my power conditioner plugged in (with all my non-amp audio equipment), and one for my amp. In the first case I use my mono blocks sometime and use both outlets and sometimes I use my stereo amp and only use one outlet.

But the point of a dedicated line is that, first, there are no other outlets connected to it that might add noise (think about a hair drier), and second the circuit does not wander all over the house acting like an antenna picking up noise.
