I tend to agree with you, but.....

If the house is damaged by fire, even if it is nothing to
do with the amp, it's a stone cold certainty, as least
in this part of the world that the insurance company
will deem the cover invalid.

And what happens when you start your next DIY
amp? You sell the existing one to that pal of yours
who has been pestering you to let him have it since
day one.  If something happens, friend****p will count
for nought, he (or his wife) will come after you with
everything they can muster.  It doesnät even have to
be anything as serious as a fire, one of the children
may burn him/herself on an exposed power tube.

Safety is not a thing to be taken lightly, Bret.

Agreed.  My 50 watt stereo amp is built that way.
The psu weighs 40kgs. The noise floor is -106dB

Yes. The 11 pin is a relay base, but the use of octal or 11 pin
plugs and sockets for high voltage DC is strictly forbidden here.
with no exceptions made for modifications. Things may be
different in the US, I don't know.
