dedicated electrical line

I recently read somewhere that a dedicated electrical line is recommended for some tube amps because of the amount of current they can draw. I have Joule VZN 100s on the way. My home was renovated about 10 years ago - new electrical system was installed at that time.Should I be concerned - not looking forward to trying to explain this one if a dedicated line needs to be installed.

your correct the amps will run just fine without them, but you would not belive what happens to the noise floor when you enstall them. it is quite amazing

As stated above, dedicated lines - I have one for front end componentes and one for amps - will do more to improve your system than any "add on" electrical isolation components and are far cheaper than most of that stuff.
Best to talk to an electrician electrical contractor.
My advice - talk to more than one and get some prices to compare.

You should look into installing a dedicated ground as well.

"You should look into installing a dedicated ground as well."

When you say "dedicated ground" do you mean a separate line back to ground (which most dedicated circuits would have anyway) or a separate ground rod?
