Explain it to me like im 4 please? dedicated line

Thanks for the help in advance.
I am building as we speak my dedicated room, unfortunately the dimensions werent flexible but everything else really is.
My room is:
11.5 wide
27 deep
9.5 high, (cathedral)

My system consists of:
Proceed Avp-s
Linar 250 Amp
Wadia 23 Source
Levinson 36 DAC
Nautilus 804
Nautilus HTM-2 center
Boston VR-MX surrounds
Phillips 963 DVD

Cabling:
Transparent Reference balanced 2 pairs
Transparent Super Bicable LCR

Power:
PS Audio PS300 MW with all blackgate caps
Shunyata Sidewinder
Michael Wolf Gain
Synergistic Research a/c Master coupler

Treatments:
2 14x48 bass ASC Bass Traps

My Basic question is...
I have NO CLUE about wiring, i am planning on at least 4
dedicated circuits and have researched dilligently in the forum here, but im totally lost.(1 Source/preamp, dac, transport. 2nd for amp. 3rd for multi channel amp. 4th for video.) also, all lighting and other outlets will be on their own circuits.

I have read alot about isolated grounds and stranded wiring as being the way to go.

I live in seattle so i have basically every opportunity to
get what i need for wire, but after reading everything i still have no idea how to physically install this, nor do i have any idea when i look at the store to pick the exact wire i need. (what type of shielding, stranded vs. non-stranded) etc etc etc.

Luckily my electric panel will only be about 18 feet away from my components (all wiring is brand new)
Can anyone explain to a total wiring novice how to
physically wire this?
Maybe a picture or two?

Will hospital grade outlets be what i need or do i need to go further?

If anyone would like i can send pictures of the framed in room so they have an idea of what im looking at.

I have installed 2x6 walls and ceilings and am going to use 5/8 sheetrock with blown in insulation in the ceiling.
Should i use a heavy texture on the walls and celings to reduce reflections?

All help will be appreciated more than you know.
Thanks again.

Thanks for the responses, i do know basic wiring and have a electrician to do the work. specifically what im more looking for is how to ground the system properly and specifically what type of wiring and shielding to use. Most of the posts ive read have been in detail about that but so far are way over my league, when people start using any abbreviation more complex than bnc or xlr i get a bit lost ;-)

Also, im looking at running my 3 Transparent Super Bi-cables in wall and thru 2.5 inch plastic conduit, will this sonically disturb anything?

Obviously most electricians could care less about sonic differences between dedicated circuits and the eyebrow raises ive gotten from him so far are more than comical about what im doing or attempting to do.
Thanks again guys.
