Dimmer switch on the same electrical line

If I tap my 70 wpc tube amplifier into the same electrical line which currently accommodates a dimmer switch (but from a different outlet), will the dimmer introduce noise into the system ?

I have a dimmer switch in use with florescent lamps and I have no problem and it is on the same line my tube amp is. A florescent dimmer is a special type so it may not be a match to your situation.

I have a RFI problem which causes distortion in my system. After trying everything to find the source of the distortion, I was told by a member to try using a circuit with no dimmer switch. So I did with no difference in the distortion levels. At least for me it did not make any difference.
