    Indeed. I would expect little benefit from the poster's digital switching amp that draws relatively little current. Naturally, one would need to analyze other devices on the circuit if it were not dedicated. With my system, however, I can see a VOM monitoring the line instantaneously "wince" by a volt or two on it's dedicated circuit when my monoblocks are running full tilt at 20 amps playing something like Stravinsky.

    WOW, that much? Maybe you should check and make sure you have good supply caps in the amp to take care of that sag, or get better amps that can.

    VTL 450s have something over 300 joules of power supply. I would happily get a pair of Siegfrieds if the budget allowed.

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there should be a fuse inside the amplifier and electric current has to pass safety fuse before power supply. If you look at inside the fuse there's only tiny string of wire corresponding to the max ampere it can take. So there is no point of adding heavier power cable if ended up limited by the fuse.
