Dedicated line, how many outlets two or four?


Using Romex wire from the 20 amp breaker, how many outlets would make the most sense, ie. Two or four? ie. how many things should I be plugging into this 20 amp breaker?

Does it matter if I use romex 10/2 or 10/3?

Just one item should be plugged in .. a very large power conditioner/generator. 

I’d absolutely do two as it won’t cost all that much more to run another line.  Also, you can plug noisy digital components, power supplies, etc. into one outlet and other analog components in the other so they’re completely separated.  FWIW.

I ran one 12 awg wire to one Cardas 4181 wall plug. plugged the Saturn 103C conditioner into the wall, then all of my components into the conditioner. 

I did two circuits because it was as much work to do two as it would for one, I did 20 amp circuits with 10/2 Romex, audio grade receptacles and power conditioners plugged into each circuit. My amp is plugged into one circuit and everything else into the other circuit. It made a significant difference.
