RE: Dedicated line to Stereo and Switch?

Depending on the distance from Breaker Panel to outlets, and assuming a 20A breaker - either 12- short, 10 medium- up to 100' or 8 gauge for Long - over 200' - if the breaker goes up in amperage raise the gauge...
As for a switch- do NOT use a wall light switch - if you want to have a switch for total power on/off- get a DPDT (Double Pole/Double Throw) switch that is rated above the breaker size and have it switch both the Hot/line and neutral.

Have fun
Happy Listening
