Mono blocks on different phases of the sub panel?


I read an old Stereophile article that suggested running two different dedicated lines - one for each mono block amp. And each dedicated line pulled from a different "phase" of the sub panel. I guess the thought is to balance? the phase on the amps? Low cost conditioning? Any thoughts? I have ASL Hurricane tube amps.

All responses appreciated.

Jea48's advice is similar to that of the electrician who installed my dedicated box and lines. He said that in installations when there was not enough balance between the loads on the phases it could affect television pictures, among other things. My monoblock amps are on opposite legs, as a result; I've considered changing it at some point, but haven't been dissatisfied with the sound so have not tried it yet.
