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!

Since an electrician is about have him check out the buildings bonding of communication equipment. Old apartment buildings are rarely code compliant with code section 250.94. I live in an older apartment building as well that had horrible ground loops. Here is a couple of videos you can review with the electrician. They will understand the technical requirements.

His presence is missed by everyone.
Many thanks to david_ten for including the Audiogon community in this tragic loss.
