Who needs power cables anyway?

It would look like freaky, high tech, alien tentacles coming out of the wall. That would be so cool. Do it just for the art!

Thanks for the responses.

I'll cover the wire with the tech wrap (or whatever they call it)- like a regular power cord would have. The cords will be run cleanly, as well, so it should'nt look too freaky.

Thanks

And you are absolutely sure this approach would produce a better result than any other power cord and outlet combination? It could be worse.

I have no idea if this is a good idea or not but I gotta say - You sure made me laugh, not directly at you, but rather at the lengths us audiogoners will go to eek out a degree of better sound. Like the reviewer on another thread that ran the extension cord from his refrigerator in the kitchen through to the living room and plugged it into his new PS Audio Premier Ports for a faster burn-in. I love these threads. More power to you!!

If you must know, the only way I see you doing this legally is to install an electrical box at the connection point on the units. That is, you have to mount the box in the back of your gear so that all live parts are inside the box. Not only that but the wiring to the units have to be in conduit all the way to the box.

Second, you need a switch near each component so that you can be sure that they are disconnected (this is what we call a safety issue) or you can use the circuit breaker but it has to be capable of being locked in the open position and in plain sight of the equipment. If the units are less than 300 watts, you need not worry about this detail.

Lastly, I got to say that what you have planned is highly unusual and not recommended by any local code official, the NEC or the NFPA. Best of luck and check the battteries in your smoke detectors.
