Seeking information about dedicated power line

I am considering installing a dedicated power line to my stereo. I would get it professionally done so I wanted to advice from experts. Thanks very much for answers to questions below and any other relevant advice.

(i) The house has around 10-12 subcircuits, each with its own circuit breaker. So I wasn't completely clear how the dedicated line is very different from this since the stereo is already not in the same subcircuit as any home appliances. Would dedicated line still help in this regard?

(ii) the current wiring is almost 50 years old, and appears to be 12awg copper. Maybe this is a reason why a new line would help?

(iii) What power cable do you recommend? (Total run is probably around 50 feet.) I noticed cryo-ed romex at VH Audio but haven't seen other recommendations.

(iv) I have furutech FPX-CU receptacle right now. Might upgrade that too.

(v) Powercords and cables are DIY from vh audio

System: Roon -> Bricasti M5 streamer -> Bricasti M1 SE Dac -> Folsom 7293 amp -> Spatial X3 speakers
