Will I benefit with 20 or 15 amp dedicated lines

I have an electrician coming to install 2 dedicated lines and I'm wondering should I use 20 or 15 amp service. I have a Meridian G08 cd player, Sonic Frontier Line 3 pre and a Sonic Frontier Power 2.

A 15 amp is plenty,you will never need a 20 amp it would be total overkill,a 15 amp is the correct type for your gear.

Kitegod,

The biggest expense of the job will be for the labor of the electrician. Install 20 amp branch circuits. #12 awg NM-B cable minimum.....

Make sure the new branch circuits are installed on breakers that are fed from the same Line, leg, in the electrical panel. Preferably not across from breakers that feed noisy AC loads such as motors, microwave, ect.

In my opinion,humble as it may be,dedicated lines should originate at the main panel not the distibution panel.I would run 20A circuits,only a few dollars more for materials.You might not need them now,but,you never know what you needs will be in the future.Others may disagree and that's fine with me.
