What do I do for a dedacated circuit?


First off, Id like to say sorry for all the times this has been asked on this board. I have already read some of the other times this question has been asked. Now that I am ready to do this myself, I thought I would get the opinion of the experts first.

If I have an electrition install a dedicated circuit, would I want that circuit indapendantly grounded?

I am going to buy an outlet from First Impression Music, so I know that I would need copper wire only.

I dont know that much about electricity, but I am assuming I would need a 20 amperes circuit. Is that correct?

My amplifier is plugged directly into the wall recepticle, along with a power conditioner that feeds my pre and cd player.

Would I want to have two dedicated circuits installed so I can run just my power amp off one and my pre & cd player off the other? Or is one fine?

How would I know that the electricion actually did what he was supposed to do? Is there someone I could have come out to my house in the Sacramento, CA. area to actually inspect it? Or is there anyone who is an audiophile/electricion or just a trustworthy electricion who makes it out to the Sacramento, CA. area that you could suggest?

If you could answer my questions for me that would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you

Sorry for posting a question on the discussion but I have one:
Why would you need 20amp for small signal components and sources?
I believe that you only need 20amp for power amplifier or 2X20 for monoblocks. The rest of equipment doesn't need that much of a dedicated power.
...it certainly will but why not make a few if extra outlets will be just a-bit extra.
...and finally I'm realy exited with comments of Abstract7
and Justlisten.
