Oh, _yeah_!

I'm mildly tempted to sell a 3-wire power-grade equivalent of open-wire
line, with ceramic insulators, for the betterment of my pocketbook at
the expense of the audioph00ls. Make it out of #6 AWG solid copper, with
an insulator every 6 inches or so, and market it as having carefully-
controlled impedance at power-line frequencies. Yeah, that'd work -- and
buzzwordifying the ad copy would only improve the sales.

BA relevance: #6 AWG solid copper makes _sturdy_ Moxon rectangles at
2m and 6m, though it's a bit big. At 140 cm and 70 cm,
#8 or #10 are a bit easier to work with.
