"Did some searching here and found the OP referenced post in which Al Sekela suggests Cat 5 wire in an R-C parallel filter. Yes, he did say that but that was for a SPEAKER R-C array, NOT for AC use! So voltage rating was not an issue at all.Folks, please do not confuse the two types of filters. They sound alike in terms of being a parallel filtering scheme, but they are not at all alike in terms of safety issues, placement, etc.!!!!"
The above mentioned wire has been replaced with a proper high quality hookup wire.
Sorry bartc my STUPID.

An easy to understand mistake, but glad you got it fixed for safety.
Al's big worry about posting any of this was that someone might inadvertently do something that would end in tragedy - at least with any of his AC tweaks.
You should enjoy this baby and more the merrier around the house.
BTW, my original model for safety was housed in a PVC pipe fitting filled with quartz sand and capped. Didn't want to chance anything with AC. So far I've never had a problem with any of these devices, but I'm sure UL would positively faint if they looked at most of Tweakers twiddling!
I house mine for a good reason: I don't want the house cleaner or my wife or especially my dog to grab anything with exposed wiring.
Enough said. Now enjoy yourself.
No worries, pixelphoto. It's the kind of mistake that many folks can easily do when interpreting online information.
Discussing the dangers of AC delivery emphasizes the issue when discussed in a public forum like Audio Asylum.
Cheers, Duster
