Dedicated line question


If a piece of equipment requires a dedicated line/ outlet, is it imperative that that outlet be directly connected to its own breaker, or is it no different than if say one breaker/ fuse impacted 6 outlets but the other 5 outlets had and would never have anything plugged into them?

No piece of audio gear requires a dedicated line! Who told you such nonsense? A preamp, power amp, streamer, DAC ... don’t draw much current. They are not stoves, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers which suck up a lot of current!
You want a dedicated line for separation and less influence of nasty equipment to your system. You also get less contact resistance. If your dedicated line is shielded of (better) starquad wired you also get less antenna effect and less inductance on your line. Combine this with a star wired distribution block, and some nice power cables (Puritan for example) Your system can now pull, "cleaner", current more effectively. The power supplies have an easier time converting AC/DC. Voila, better sound.
Thanks everyone for the input.  I think I have my answer - basically if the equipment says it needs a dedicated line (purely for power pull), and I have one breaker connected to multiple outlets, but only the component in question is plugged in and pulling power, then effectively, from a purely electrical perspective, the juice should flow / be there the same as if it were on a single outlet to breaker connection.
