RE: I removed the GFCI in my Equitech, installed all P.S. Audio outlets...

Do I really need the GFCI? ...................
If the room is 100% secure from other people other than you, the choice is yours.

If on the other hand there is a chance, even remote, that children or even your wife could have contact with your equipment then the answer should be yes.

Just for your information a 60>0<60 Ac balanced hard wired system in a residential dwelling is a violation of NEC code here in the US.

They are only approved for use in commercial/industrial facilties.
They must be under close supervision of qualified personell.
They must be GFCI protected.
All electrical outlets must be labled that they are fed from a balanced power system.
There are a few more stipulations that must be meant as well.
