Dedicated power

I'm looking to run a dedicated 30a and dedicated 20a line to my system directly from the fuse box. 
I currently have some florescent lights and some other junk on the line so I'm hoping it will be an improvement. Things sounds like they are straining somewhat when you crank things up. The amp will go on the 30a line and the digital stuff on the 20a. 
Anyone done this and saw improvements?

I just installed a sub panel in my dedicated audio room which is a separate building from my house. I had to isolate the neutral wires in the sub panel and install a grounding rod, should I connect the grounding rod to the grounding rod on the main panel.

Question was answered then by jea48.

Starting with the 2008 National Electric Code, the only acceptable way to wire a subpanel is with a four-wire feed. Two hots, one ground, and one neutral wire. The grounds and neutrals must be isolated.

Thanks for the info, it wasn't answerd last time, at least not about bonding the sub panel ground rod or not to the main panel grounding rods.

I have a question which is slightly unrelated to the main topic of this thread (sorry OP). If one has to choose between getting a dedicated line or a good power conditioner, which one provides the biggest bang for the buck. If the answer is 'both', which one should you get first?
