One or two dedicated AC wire ?

Would it have a signeficant audible in performance between: FIRST- a dedicated AC wire for an audio stereo system connected to a power distribution bar with good AC cable and Furutech Duplex. SECOND- the same as first version, but adding another dedicated AC wire, and an other wall Furutech Duplex, to connect only the stereo power amp. Would I hear a significative improvement for the investement of time and electrical parts ?

Luckily my electrician owned a nice audio system and made great suggestions. Instead of adding to my small circuit box with old wiring and questionable grounding, he installed a subpanel for two dedicated lines (upgradeable).
A 60A tandem breaker was used in the main panel to supply the subpanel.

I want additional circuits, but my main electrical panel is not spacious enough. I don’t want to sound like a salesperson now, but all I need is a tandem circuit breaker right?
