Yes I usesd 20 amp curcuit breakers for each circuit. I used 20 amp wiring , not the standard 15 amp nomex wire. The lines have Schurter connectors soldered to the ends of the wires..

The lines to my living room had about 10 outlet boxes on that line.. switches lights and answering machine, my computer, a sub woofer, and florescant lights. Can you imagine how many times that line had been cut spliced and marretted.

That started me thinking of dedicated lines... I was going to run conduit but twisting the wire if a far better way to go.

The difference was huge, by far it was yielded the greatest improvement of any tweak or upgrade so far.
