Electrical - Romex Wiring and Other Recommended Enhancements


I am moving and will be hiring an electrician to add some wall plugs to accommodate my system needs.

I am using after market cruzeFIRST Maestro Outlet plugs but was needing some guidance on which Romex wiring to use from the electrical box, grounding enhancements, etc.  Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.  

I am using High Fidelity Hemisphere conditioner...

Thanks.

@thankful, much has been written in various threads that answer your specific questions.
Here is an example that I found:
https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/romex-and-breaker-switches

Depending upon the length of AC wiring you need to run, and the demands of your audio components I would suggest either 12/2 or 10/2 gauge wire, individual runs to each 20 amp breaker you run and ground according to your local Electrical code.
I’m not sure why the above post suggests medical grade outlets, I would not go in that direction because of the negative effect of various platings used that diminish and cause harshness with the sound. The FIRST Cruze Maestro Outlets are fine as long as you prefer their sound.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with using 20 amp breakers as long as you run 10/2 wire.
Yes, there are preamps and amps constructed for 20 amp IEC's, it is possible that if you use a 15 amp breaker the product might lack its full potential.
If you are going to use an HFC Hemisphere then I would suggest you use a Furutech GTX-D NCF (R) outlet and not the cruzeFIRST Maestro outlet to power the Hemisphere.
