Dedicated power....

I have 15 amp dedicated lines going to my amps.Does it make sense to change them to 20amp service.How many audiophile components really use 20 amps?Also does getting a higher grade recepticle,like hubble 'levitron' or ps audio outlets'etc. really matter?This power debate really has me confused.

It won't make any difference unless you change the size of the Romex back to the breaker panel.

Typically per NEC:

12 gauge wiring for a 20 amp max breaker
14 gauge wiring for a 15 amp max breaker
