Installing Dedicated Power Lines -- Need Advice


My general contractor is hiring a licensed electrician to install dedicated 20A lines for my audio system as part of a whole-apartment rewire and gut renovation.  While I'm sure the electrician is very capable, I'm also pretty sure he doesn't know anything about audio systems either.  Can any of you recommend a consultant or electrician who specializes in audio electrical I can hire to advise my electrician on how to best set up these lines?

Thanks!

Just a reminder to keep the 120volt cables apart from the telephone, low voltage cabling.

Also, has the electrician seen the job yet? Some may want you to replace a panel that doesn't fit more breakers/runs. Replacing the panel alone is not that big of a job. Something newer with more breakers may do for you. To go even further, when renovating, you may want to change the breaker and cable size of the main panel. The electrician will see this immediately when he comes to look. 

Good luck.
