AC POWER DISTRIBUTOR/POWER CABLE VERSUS DEDICATED

Hello.
Here is the question: do I spend my hard earned money on power distributor/power cable($600) of do I get the electrician to install a 30 amps dedicated circuit ($400)for my system?
Thoughts?
Thank you.

If you currently have a small system, plan for the future. Also, it's advisable to run digital components on a separate line than the analogue. The next step in a power upgrade is a power conditioner, which will help remove AC line noise coming into the house from the power grid. But most importantly is installing a dedicated line.

This is a topic of controversy due to the fact that some believe that there is no audible difference. The high-end outlets use very pure metals and are hospital grade (providing a solid connection) as opposed to the brass plated outlets. It's not an expensive upgrade. Check the archives for names such as Porter Ports, PS Audio.
