Amp and preamp on same outlet?

J_stereo, I had a ARC SP3 along with a Dual 51 and Dual 75. I never even thought of using the switched or unswitched outlets on the back. I don't remember doing any experiments to discourage using them, but perhaps others advised against doing so.

But I certainly do remember little concern about power cords, vibrations, EMI or RFI much less ics and speaker wires. My first special speaker wires were from Bob Fulton and I realized that I had used identical wires on my welding rig while in undergraduate days in a material testing lab.

Electricity scares the hell out of me so I was compelled to post the info.
There is no foolery with Electricity. It needs to be done the right way. But ironically the result of this hobby, the music itself, is all about fooling ourselves ?

btw - I enjoyed your electricity video especially the power plants. Thinking about it now I find it kind of funny that the closest I came to feeling like I owned my own standlone powerplant, was with these
OTL's
The speakers could be disconnected and others reconnected at any time without powering off the monoblocks.
They used horizontal sweep tubes. 600 watts at idle just like a 50 inch plasma tv according to the manufacturer.
No TV in this room so I kind of justified things in my mind.

Almost felt like the speakers were connected directly into the wall outlets. In memory now, I no longer own them, they were like driving a 911 but you could only use first gear. They were designed around the needs of Acoustats. Issues developed with consistency and reliability.
