Romex to your amp?

I was going to do exactly as your friend described except wire the Romex into my Shuyata Denali Hydra 6000S power conditioner instead of an amp. The Shuyata Denali was intended to tale out any line interference.

Unfortunately, I was informed this was a NEC (National Electric Code) violation which might void your homeowners insurance if discovered after a fire for example. Other than that it is logical it would work if your power conditioner would take out any RF or other types of interference, rather than a ridiculously expensive power cord. Just a thought, not based on anything but common sense, admittedly not expertise.

Excellent post skipskip. I think you definitively provided the reason nobody should do this and why it is a code violation. In my case I never tried hardwiring my sytem into the Romex because it is a code violation, but I didn’t know why it was one. Thanks for explaining that. Building codes exist for a reason, and that’s for the safety of homeowners and renters.

No offense to the daveyf who started this excellent thread, but I think in the light of skipskip’s post the moderators should shut down this thread before someone gets tempted to court fate and give skipskip the final word on this subject. When I first thought of hardwiring my system this way I thought it would be a clever way to bypass needing those extravagantly priced power cords. Not so clever to reduce the noise floor inexpensively and in the process create a fire hazard that threatens you and yours.
