Thanks for replying. I have to admit I am having a hard time following some of what you have said, I just don't have the knowledge in this area. You'll see in my Addendum post that I am not having any problems at all with my line right now whatsoever. I have seen a lot of benefit from adding a line conditioner, higher quality outlets and after market power cords to my system and I hoping this may be yet another improvement.

review how the load is distributed on the phases

I am confused here. Simply put I don't know how to measure phase or even really understand which circuits are on what phase?? Can you help explain?

Might preclude the need for the line, since yours is essentially
dedicated as it is

I can see how it could be essentially a dedicated line the way it is. But, because a dedicated line would use better wire and would be a shorter and straighter path, would that in itself make for a better line? I can't help but think of the analogy of having a pair of speaker cables made of several pieces of wire strung together, which would not be good, and paralleling that to the idea of the line going to my outlet being made of several pieces of wire going through junction boxes and the like through my house. Any thoughts?

If your house wiring is aluminum, get the new line regardless

I am guessing I have copper wiring. How can I tell? The wire at the outlets when wiring in new receptacles was copper.

Thanks for the help.
