Nice points- Stehno.
if the OP is living on the grid, as we do not know his locale, then a dedicated line is the 1st consideration.

Thanks, Fantja.However, I must offer a bit of a correction. A dedicated line does nothing to cleanse the noisy AC coming in from the street. A dedicated line from the service panel to the component simply ensures that AC noise coming in from the street is now dedicated to the component plugged into it.
Dedicated lines can reduce noisy AC generated within the house itself, e.g. appliances, dimmers, etc. but supposedly some noises such as bi-directional digital noise will make its way back to the service panel and then induce its noise into other circuits / lines.
All of which a superior line conditioner will or should minimize / resolve.
Thus leaving a dedicated line with only one real purpose, which is to ensure a high-current drawing amplifier has enough juice to sufficiently reproduce the more dynamic and/or complex music passages.
IOW, if one employed proper line conditioning and a low-current-drawing amp, there is no need for dedicated lines, or rather just have one dedicated line for everything.

It would appear that US mains power is of poorer quality than that in the UK especially with your brownouts which explains why many US made products especially AR are over fused which degrades SQ.
And exactly what does that have to do with the price of tea in China?
AC by its very nature is noisy. It just so happens that the distortions induced by this noise really doesn't matter except in "high-end" audio where it becomes quite prevalent in how it greatly strips away at a recording's level of musicality.
With postings like yours, and with so few even caring about this great distortion, it seems it doesn't matter in "high-end" audio either.
My post is the truth (although I expressed it in a lighthearted way) and is not incompatible with the points you were making. Next time, try not to take yourself so seriously.
Yes, you spoke truth. It's just that there was little relevancy to it.
