HI Elizabeth,
If I understand you correctly, it sounds to me that you are connecting your extension cord to a single, isolated, 20 Amp Outlet in the Kitchen.
Wouldn't this technically already be a dedicated outlet? ...and the extension cord is just a great way to use a dedicated outlet in another room?
FWIW, I live in a Condo, and I run an extension cord (to another electrical circuit zone on the other side of the same room), to a non-dedicated outlet to which I connect my Digital Sources and then my Amps and Preamp are plugged into a different zoned outlet in the same room, and I have noticed an improvement by using different outlets connected to different zones on the fuse box, to split up digital and analog gear. I discovered this more out of necessity, but it still sounds better.
Regards,
Rich
