Sooo much emphasis on UL approval but what stereo components do you own carrying the UL seal? My guess if its a truly high end piece, nothing.....
Does Chevy carry UL approval? Obviously not since they are recalling all their ignition switches.... Do all your light recepticles have the UL stiamp? How bout your alarm clocks, or cell phones, or ipads, etc.?p

They are class 2 devices Stu unless the alarm clock plugs directly in, so they don't need approval... Only the thing that changes the power line into a class 2, power limited circuit does. Usually that means the wall wart.
It's actually the local codes of one's cascade of governmental bodies that determine what's required. Things like the NEC are just suggestions unless referenced by local law, which is usually the case. In my state stuff that uses more juice than class 2 has to be "recognized". But they don't care by whom. UL is but one recognizing body.
Remember, governments are lawyers...

to check UL standards: Batteries, watches, portable tools, lots of stuff you wouldn't really believe
