Dedicated power circuit


I am new to high-end audio and basically a skeptic. I never would have believed that cables and interconnects could make a significant difference in the sound of a system. After one year of experimenting, I have seen that the right cables can make a huge sonic difference.

My small system (Plinius 8150, Creek CD-43, B&W Matrix 803, Harmonic Tech Truthlinks and Pro-9s, Powersnake Black Mamba and JPS Digital PC). The system is connected to a 15 amp circuit that is not used by any other loads (although other outlets, etc. are on the circuit). I am using a Hubbell hospital-grade outlet.

I'm considering installing a dedicated 20 amp circuit.

My questions: Is this an important upgrade? If so, is there a special romex-type cable that I should use for the 60' run to my main panel?

Thanks for your advice.

John . . . thanks for the input. I visited the storm products website but was unable to find the 10 gauge wire you mentioned. They have hundreds of cables and wires and I will continue to look. Joel
Dill,
Thanks for the response. Is a double duplex box one that holds two outlets? Is there a reason for this other than having space for four power cords? Also, does the 10 gauge Romex fit most Hubbell-type outlets?
Thanks, Joel
