UPgradeing dedicated line components

Six months ago I installed 3 dedicated lines for audio. One to amp, one to preamp, and one to digital. I used standard solid core 10ga romex for amp and 12 ga otherwise. I have a Square D box with distance to outlets not more than 20'. Used hospital grade outlets, however inexpensive ones.

I seek input on value of:
1) Upgrading the breakers in the square D box.
2) Replacing the romex for 10ga stranded cable for all lines.
3) Upgrading the outlets to PS audio or something of ~equal value.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts. Mike

Thanks Lacee, I did think about doing this myself. Makes sense to remove the outlets. Are the AC cables from the panel standard Romex?

Thanks again, I am using #10 with 20 amp also. I plan on getting a IEC plug.

Very much appreciate the exchange between Lacee and Zephyr. I now have a focus on room 'tuning' .

Ptss, I have considered power conditioning for pre and digital. Currently using a Monster cable conditioner for digital. (DAC and DVP) Keeping digital isolated.
