I should clarify - it is cerainly true a cheaply made switch mode power supply can be noisy. But this is not true of high quality switch mode supplies such as those used by Linn and Dynavector.

Although almost all modern Linn gear does utilize switch mode power supplies, I believe the Lingo is an exception. It most certainly does not need to be isolated from other equipment on its own circuit. As to the larger claim that switch mode power supplies are electronically noisy on a circuit, I am VERY skeptical. This sounds like the sort of nonsense a competing dealer would say to keep someone from buying a Linn product.
Naim makes the Armadeddon power supply for the LP 12 (not Linn), and it was to some ears an improvement over the old Linn Vahalla, but decidedly not over the Lingo. Even a Naim rep I know of readily admits the Armadeddon is not as good as the Lingo I, which itself is not as good as the newer, full-sized Lingo II.
I'm not sure of the details of how much work it would be for you to run another line . Usually, if you are doing one, then adding a second at the same time isn't that much harder. If that is true in you case, then *definitely* add the second dedicated line.
Ideally, there should be one for amps and one for sources. This is what I have for my two channel system upstairs. In my basement which I just finished, I only put in one dedicated line for a possible home theater. I am really kicking myself over that short sightedness.
