Advice- wiring for dedicated sound room


I'm building a house at present and am almost ready to start discussions with our electrician. I'll have a 19'x24' with 9' ceiling dedicated soundroom/theater. (No windows!)

I'm asking for advice on wiring it up just right from the box to the walls. Obviously, I know I'll need some dedicated lines and I do intend to use hospital grade 20 amp outlets. The house is to have a 440 supply. Should I suggest a 10 ga Romex vs. any other options?
What about grounding?
Any comment on breaker types for best performance, or the addition of fuses outside the box?

In the soundroom itself, if I use the hospital grade outlets, should I still use my conditioner, sequencer (Adcom 515)and connect my equiptment that way. Would I lose the advantage of the outlets and current flow if I don't hook directly to them?.

Thanks for any ideas.

Glen, you state that you are a professional electrician, yet you also state that you "Then ground to a seperate ground rod independent of your service ground" every time.

You had better hope your local inspector doesn't read this as this is not code and can be dangerous due to different ground potentials. However, I agree with you that there may be some sonic benefit so I am going to be doing it in my system.
