Dedicated line (almost)

OP:

The proof is in the listening.  Do you hear a difference when the lights are out? :D

My direct is 20 Amps and it is...direct.

Erik : Yes I do. Until recently, I was not aware of the 'dimmer noise problem'....and I always felt my sound was better daytime (vs the evening). I thought it was due to the internet traffic (I'm not an expert as you can see) but when I read about dimmer's noise, I understood why my sound was better daytime as the 3 dimmers on my audio line were always at say 20% when I listen music in the evening. Will look for a blocker...or a dedicated line. Thanks everybody

OP:

Well in that case I think you have your answer.  I'm lucky enough to not have that particular mix.

I also use Furman with LiFT and SMP, so I may have better than average noise rejection.  In my past life as an apartment dweller I always knew when I didn't have a Furman in line.  Good luck!

@cagma7 standard home wiring is 14 gauge. Check to make sure. In any event I would suggest running two dedicated lines, 12awg each (10awg is obviously better but harder to work with) - one for the amp alone, another for source, preamp, phono, etc.

Moving the LED dimmers to another circuit is also an option and is going to be better than your current setup. Also, replacing the old dimmers with smart dimmers and leaving it all as is…not sure it will be an improvement. The new smart switches are wifi and may introduce noise. I know this contradicts @erik_squires recommendation but just thinking out loud here…that cure can potentially be worse than the disease but @erik_squires is a knowledgeable dude, so I will defer that to him to elaborate how that can be an improvement.
