Dedicated line w/ upgraded parts or power cond?

You may find very superior results with separate units. Isolate each piece as you like, with the power they need.
And you get to keep them.

Both be a sport!!

Something I like about a dedicated line is that it is a continuous run from the panel to where you plug your gear into it.

There are no cuts and tie ins to other wall plugs, at least in the dedicated lines that I run.

I also like to attach the dedicated ground wire to the main ground wire directly instead of inside the panel to the ground strip where all the other ground wires are connected.

Would this be considered a less dirty dedicated line?

Also,I am now upgrading to 10/2 romex and 30 amp breakers,yes it's overkill,but not dangerous is it?

I ran this way once before when I had solid state amps and liked the sound, so I'm trying it again with tube amps.

Per code the safety equipment ground wire has to connect to the ground bar in the electrical panel the branch circuit is fed from.

(Exception: An IG, insulated isolated equipment grounding conductor, for an IG grounding type receptacle can pass through a sub panel/s and connect to the main service electrical panel where the main service neutral is connected to earth.)

#10 awg is fine but if the receptacle is a NEMA 5-15R (15 amp) duplex receptacle the breaker can be a 15 or 20 amp max per code. 15 amp breaker, 15 amp branch circuit. 20 amp breaker, a 20 amp branch circuit.

If a NEMA 5-20R receptacle is used the branch circuit breaker has to be a 20 amp. Minimum size awg wire #12 copper. Again #10 awg can be used. You just cannot connect the hot to a 30 amp breaker.
