@lowrider57 - @cleeds has it right- all "dedicated" means for our purposes is that the circuit isn’t being shared by other appliances, switches, lighting, etc. It reduces, but does not in my experience, eliminate, noise from other parts of the electrical system. My set up in NY (which was "permitted," but didn’t follow best practices I later learned), picked up noise from a low voltage light two floors away, and from various plug-in appliances, like a humidifier or hair dryer being used in another part of a large house. I also suffered from a nasty zap over the lines every time my tonearm air compressor motor kicked in- this could have been eliminated by properly separating the lines rather than bundling them.
I guess the other reason why one would install a dedicated line is to be sure that you have no competition for current drawn from the same line.
I believe that the job done in TX in my new place is far better than the one in NY, based in part on the level of knowledge of the electricians, and my prodding with questions (some of which were helpfully answered by @jea48 along the way).
