Who needs power cables anyway?

You guys are making ME laugh!

I know there are lots of old timers out there that are laughing also - if they are reading this post. This is, I'm sure, not a new idea by any means. I'm sure lots of audio nuts have tried this.

It just makes sense that if one can take a connection or two out of the chain that it would be beneficial.

What the heck difference does it make on safety?! If the wire is rated for 600 volts, the wires are insulated, grounded, the power is run through breakers and there are fuses in every component - where's the big scary fire threat?

One could certainly use a surface mounted panel and run the leads out of it? right? That would keep the wires out of the wall completely.

Do you all feel better about that?

Sincere thanks to all (well, most) that respond.

Whew! Yes, I feel a lot better now Keithmundy! LOL! Personally I don't see why it wouldn't work. I'm sure that with every great invention came a host of detractors and naysayers! Let us know how it works and if you can tell the difference - just don't ask the local electrical inspector for his/her opinion!

Obviously, you are not married!

HAHAHAHA! Great observation Cyclonicman

Let's see now,
the power is generated and then sent through about a dozen electric company toll booths, converters, sub stations, telephone poles and then draped though your neighborhood picking up any stray interference it might have missed previously. And you are going to connect your equipment directly to this.......... through a sub panel and fuse box also.

Sounds like a great idea.
