One dedicated circuit for each mono block?

If I have a dedicated 20 amp Circuit is that ok for two monoblocs? I read that a separate dedicated line is better for each amplifier. So the outlet can't have two plugs but it's better to not use one of the two plugs when connecting a mono block?

I have a transparent Power isolator which I know use to plug amps into.

So maybe a dedicated circuit can be used to plug amps directly into and then have Power isolator connected to a separate Circuit for everything else.

I am trying to evaluate the merits and to need for getting a second dedicated line while installing the first.

What's missing from this is the power consumption of the monoblocks at idle and peak?

Your power isolator is probably undoing all the good that your dedicated line is doing.

I have 2 circuits in my dedicated line.  But I don't have monoblocks and I don't anticpate a use for the second circuit other than to put junk on that I don't want on my audiophile line.

I would plug both monoblocks into one dedicated circuit directly into wall outlet. Iewould use conditioner on other circuit for other equipmen. I believe this is as you were saying.
