Dedicated 20 amp circuit - Electrician laughed!


I brought my electrician out to my house today to show him where I would like to install a dedicated 20a circuit for my system.  He laughed and said that's the stupidest thing he's heard and laughs when people talk about it.  It said, if you're going to do it, you have to have it separately grounded (shoving a new 8 foot rod into the ground) but even then, he sees no way there can be an audible improvement.

Now, he's not just an electrician though. He rebuilds tube amps on the side and tears apart amps and such all the time so he's quite well versed in audio electronics and how they operate.

He basically said anyone who thinks they hear a difference is fooling themselves.  

Personally, I'm still not sure, I'm no engineer, my room's not perfect, and I can't spend hours on end critical listening...  But, he does kinda pull me farther to the "snake oil" side and the "suggestive hearing" side (aka, you hear an improvement because you want to hear it).

I'm not taking a side here but I thought it was interesting how definitive he was that this not only WILL not make a difference but ALMOST CANNOT make a difference.

Yesterday I had a dedicated 20 amp line installed for my system after putting it off for years. All I can is - do it. I noticed an immediate improvement in my system. I have had a subwoofer hum forever that no amount of tweaking could fix, its now gone. The entire system is quieter. My phono stage which was fairly quiet is now noise free. This is the best $400 upgrade I’ve ever invested in my system. I should have done this years ago. 
My electrician turned out to be an audiophile with quite a system of his own. He was very enthusiastic about doing this. His entire system is run off of multiple dedicated lines.

He used MC 14 gauge to a surface mount box in my audio closet. It was a very clean install.
