> what IS the correct size wire to use when wiring a 240 VAC circuit 
> for an amplifier?

# 12 with ground for up to 20A @ 240V, #10 with ground for up to 30A @240V.
For 240V circuits, the white conductor should be colored black which may be 
accomplished with a magic marker or paint. This indicates that both wires are 
hot. The wire should be solid. TW or tool wire can be used in conduit, 
otherwise, the cable may be romex or BX depending on local codes and ytour personal 
desire if the code does not specify. Outlets should be matched to circuit 
capacity and wire should be wrapped around the screws in a clockwise direction so 
that when the screw is tightened. it will pull the wire into the connection.
