Welcome to Audio Asylum, John. I think you'll be pleased to know that a carbon fiber electrical box is overkill, IMO.
A carbon fiber AC outlet wall plate placed right next to where the stray magnetic fields are produced is where the unwanted EMI is absorbed/dissipated.
A rigid molded phenolic resin electrical box is substantially more rigid than typical plastic boxes. Somewhat expensive, but not from an audiophile POV.
10 AWG cryo'd Romex is the usual option that folks tend to use, but there are more expensive products from audiophile cable manufacturers.
How many feet do you require for your project?

Thanks Duster!!!
Fortunately, I only need about 30 feet of the 10 gauge Cryo'd Romex. I had a number of Yamaha engine parts cryo'd as an experiment. The hope was that the aluminum parts would shed heat quicker after treatment. That didnt happen, but the aluminum machined very differently in the lathe. Interesting to see what the Cryo does to copper. It would be nice if it was easier to form around screw heads.
The phenolic outlet box looks good. I found a bunch of beefy outlet boxes thru Google including polycarbonate. Prices vary quite a bit depending upon the source. I'm guessing that the beefier the better to dampen vibration.
Anyone have a good source for the Cryo'd 10 gauge Romex?
Thanks,
John
Per Dr. Who: "Run!"
The benefit of cryo treatment for copper wire is the tightening of the crystal grain boundaries for a smoother sounding presentation, not unlike the benefit of OCC single crystal copper, but obviously not as optimized.
Rigidity is a key aspect of improved AC delivery from a mechanical POV, which is associated with vibration/resonance control.
VH Audio sells the 10 AWG cryo'd Romex.
