Advantage using one electrical leg for audio system?
then is the way OP did it   preferable to running two circuits of 10-2 with two separate neutrals? NO.. Two 10/2 with ground Romex cables fed from single pole breakers fed from the same Line, Leg,... IS Much, Much, better than what you have ...

If it bothers you, an electrician can probably move wires around in your panel to keep both lines on the same leg. an electrician can probably move wires around in your panel to keep both lines on the same leg. No he can’t... The OP has a 3 ... 
Does a higher gauge electrical wire impact voltage level?
Most amplifiers are "unregulated." Meaning long term (several seconds) changes in the AC line will make it to the amplifier voltage rails. So if your DC rails are +- 50V with 120VAC input, they will vary in proportion to input. They could be 45V ...

Sharing ground wire between two dedicated circuits
@emergingsoul said: Idea has been proposed to share the insulated ground from the 10/3 wire with the other 10/2 dedicated circuit. Achieves the same thing at a lot less cost? Does this make sense? No not to me it doesn’t. Per NEC the EGC, "(Eq... 
Outlet - Shunyata vs Hubble 20 amp
@dekay said: I recall that Albert also used 5262 & 5362 as a base for the Porterport.  Ya, I recall after Hubbell changed the HBL8300H Hospital Grade outlet Albert had to find something else that sounded as good. He ended using the Hubbell...
