A friend of mine did this years ago, and it did not burn down the house, but it has it's risks. It IS an inconvenient thing to do( his amp weighed 130# to boot).This was before all the new power cords came out,back in about 86. His system was amazing as he had payed attention to every detail. I would not reccomend it today. Get yourself a good outlet and get a good buy on a power cord(look for the most bang for your buck, I hear that the FIM outlets are great for $50 and try a CPCC "High Value" power cord $130). You will be glad you did every time you want to move that amp for any reason. I think that it is possible that this approach could sound even better than the direct romex due to the fact that the romex is not sheilded.
bypass outlet and hook wires directly to romex??
i see these highend wall outlets (wattgate; etc). it seems to me that unless they have some sort of filter or conditioner...would it not be better to connect the wire to wire?? power cord wire to romex (remove male on power cord and remove female outlet)? it would be a lot cheaper. any thoughts?
