home circuit breaker - good idea or not to increase to higher amp fuse?


Hi all, breaking off to a separate discussion.  While fixing some electrical stuff at home, my electrician informed me that my circuit breaker fuse for my music room area is 20amp.  I'm wondering if upgrading the home circuit break fuse from 20 to 30 or 40amp fuse would improve current flow to my hifi amp.  Has anyone done something like this before at home?

I am remodeling my home right now and need to have 2 dedicated 15 amp circuits just for my Anthem P5 home theater amp. I have always noticed the picture looks so much better on the weekends when half the businesses are not open. I have even read about putting all your electronics on dedicated circuits that go straight to the pole outside your house to eliminate any stray grounds. Might be expensive but if you are crazy like me you will want to do whatever you can to improve performance. Go with extra heavy quality wire and as many seperate circuits you can afford, and at least 20 amps a piece. And hire a good electrician or a custom installers electrician that deals with alot of audio and theater applications. Good luck and post what you end up doing.
