Stranded vs Solid Copper

I am making a home made outlet box with Hospital grade receptacles. I am hard wiring into the existing outlet box that was poorly installed.(to far recessed) Does it matter if I use solid or stranded wire for the extension wire/cord in terms of its effect on sound? The length is 4’ to 5’

For my dedicated cuircut I used was a 30amp breaker, 10/2 solid copper, and a self grounded heavy duty outlet.
Are you using a 30A receptacle? That's unusual for household use and would probably require putting new AC plugs on your amplifiers. If you're using a 20A receptacle, that would be a code violation in many jurisdictions.

There is only one correct breaker for each panel. That is the one that is the correct current rating (regular/GFCI/AFCI) specified by the manufacturer of your panel. Any other breaker is the wrong breaker. Period.
This is mistaken. There are instances where there are alternatives to using the OEM's breaker. For example, Siemens makes substitutes for some Square D breakers. UL listed, too. See this.
