Dedicated line w/ upgraded parts or power cond?

Jea48 knows the code.
I use larger breakers for peak current dynamics.

dave 33 from may 17. What conditioner were you using.
I believe most are not that good so I appreciate your opinion.
But, some conditioners are hot/swell/great.

I'm somewhat confused(easily),can I safely use a 30 amp breaker if I wire the ground to the proper ground strip in the panel,even if my receptacles are 20 amp?

Most of us have gear that use 15 amp power cords which we plug into 20 amp receptacles on dedicated 20 amp line.

NO, not per NEC code or your local AHJ.

Why would you want to? The current carrying guts inside a 20 amp breaker are the same as a 30 amp breaker. The difference between the two breakers is the thermal and magnetic trip mechanism.

A 20 amp Square D QO breaker will pass a one cycle inrush current of about 120 amps before it trips open.

A 30 amp QO will pass an inrush current of close to 300 amps for about 8 to 10 cycles before it trips open.

A 20 amp breaker will handle any dynamic peak current pulses from your power amp without any problem.
