Warren,
I suggest you hire an electrician to do the job. The cost will vary depending on where you live and the complexity of your situation. I had one done for about $150 in New York area. But my installation was simple; the outlet and the circuit breaker were on the same side of the house and they were only 30 feet apart. The job was also part of a larger one and that saved me some label costs.
At a minimum, you should use 20A hospital grade outlet with #10 all copper wires. The next step up will be to put the wires in steel conduits or use shielded cables. I prefer steel conduit because it also protects the wires from harmful elements. You can also get some audiophile grade outlets but I dont think it is essential.
Despite what others might suggest, do NOT install a separate ground rod for the dedicated line unless you are going to plug all the equipment to the same ac line. The potential ground loop problem caused by multiple earth grounds are very difficult to solve and might cause safety concerns.
BTW, I tried different outlets with the Vandies last night, the change in dynamic was hardly noticeable but the hums were. I decided to plug them back to the 20A line with the amp.
I hope this helps.
