That in a nut shell is what
is wrong with this country.
You never bought the product
but you want to make sure
no one else can.
I will never understand
the hubris of that position.

Any experienced electronics or electrical person can easily see those products are not safe under established safety standards of the past 40 years or more.
And you know it!
Defending this is silly.
So are feet under the component.
So are cable elevators.
So are tubes without cages.
Also for 50 years before that wood insulted
most electrical wiring with porcelain help.
Wood is a good electrical insulator.
It isn't going to cause a fire.
It just doesn't take abuse well.
Joe Public does not shop at Mapleshade.
Audiophiles do.
You are supposedly trying to save Joe Public
but he is not involved at all.

It is with government, as with medicine. They have both but a choice of evils. Every law is an evil, for every law is an infraction of liberty: And I repeat that government has but a choice of evils: In making this choice, what ought to be the object of the legislator? He ought to assure himself of two things; 1st, that in every case, the incidents which he tries to prevent are really evils; and 2ndly, that if evils, they are greater than those which he employs to prevent them.

Typical audiophile analysis. You pick an example such as knob and tube wiring but overlook the details.
gusser,
I've already put ceramic hoods on top of the anode caps, if this is what you worry about. These are a bit old photos.
This is about the Mapleshade power products.
Your amp is a good example of Dans point in ths issue. It's yours, in your home, it's not being sold to the general public.
AGAIN ...
The general public does not shop at Mapleshade.
Another spurious red herring argument.

OMG stop with the nonsense!
Of course the general public is the ONLY people who buy Mapleshade products.
Audio enthusiasts are part of the general public.
I wouldn't want to resort to name calling, so I won't start now, but you "sound" like a complete moron. I am not calling you a moron, just saying you sound like one.

I'm glad I live in DC, land of the free. Guess I'll go smoke a legal joint and make myself a run to the power pole out of Cardas tonearm wire.
I don't buy any Mapleshade products. I'm a DIY er. I'd make my own.
But where Mapleshade deserves praise, in my opinion, is for their attitude of experimentation and perfectionism, as they see it.
When I visited Ron and Pierre at Ron's house 15 years ago, they didn't have a volume control in the system. They played Mapleshade recordings and they knew the level they were recorded at and they set the amp to THE proper volume. They had an outboard volume control box, if needed. for visitors.
The amp was liquid cooled Mosfet with the cooling line running down to the basement where it was cooled by an antique fan blowing on an old air conditioner coil.
As mentioned before these guys are quite serious experimenters and very careful listeners. If one is of the mindset to be intrigued by such tweaking, these guys are old masters at it.
