Cabinet

I'd like to see a picture of it when it's completed!

I thought maybe it would have effect the sound & or video output/input in some way.

meerzistar: it insulates current, not vibration. Thats pretty clear cut. 

So was the OP's question.

" Not worried about the vibration,I can work that out. I’m concerned if there would be any unwanted frequencies from the porcelain? I also have the ventilation covered."

He says he's "not worried about the vibration" but is "concerned if there would be any unwanted frequencies from the porcelain." What's the difference?

Thanks to all who replied!
With a lil labor, the doors have raised panels that I will be replacing with speaker grill cloth, & install a fan in the top rear of the unit. My existing unit doesn't go with my decor. I figured this will be strong enough to house 2-amps, 1-pre, 1-Pioneer sx1280 & miscellaneous gear. Total about 300 lbs. plus.

Personally I think its the wrong type of environment to be housing audio components. Refinish it and put your beer in it $0.02

Porcelain (ceramics), are regularly used in all kinds of electronics. Its a very good insulator. Tube sockets, cables, speakers, diodes, resistors, electrical outlets, etc. If anything, it might be beneficial. 

Just some general info.

" List of Common Insulating Materials. Clay (ceramic)(porcelain) - This is the standard material for high voltage and RF insulators. ... It is a good thermal conductor while being an insulator. Sheet mica is easily stamped and shaped forelectrical components."

Oops. Double tapped the post your response.

The porcelain is just a thin layer over steel. To my mind the question also arises, will the components being surrounded by a steel encloser, except the front when the door is either open or removed, present any problem. I don't have any knowledgeable opinion but someone else probably does.

Porcelain is the poor man’s ceramics, which is an excellent vibration damper, I.e., resonator. And I’m not hot doggin ya.

^opps, sorry about that.

Ventilation?

It may look great but it will not sound great bad idea.Good luck!!

I would think the down side of porcelain might be unwanted vibration.
