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 ?

Two single pole breakers in a common 1" enclosure. Both breaker units share a common buss connector.

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?

I have three dedicated lines, one for power conditioner for everything but the amp, another dedicated for amp, third is spare. All three 20amp, 10 gauge Romex, and all three dedicated ground wire to new grounding rod, All grounding wire must be same exact length, including whole house ground, so no grounds potential issues.

 

I much prefer my amps direct into wall, I've had seven amps here over the past ten years or so, all better straight into wall

 

Also nice to segregate digital from analog, switching power supplies will contaminate, at present I use linear power supplies exclusively with all my digital components, so no issues here.
