"Not possible in the USA to feed Audio equipment."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Really well in Southfield Mich, USA it was possible in the 90's and apparently still is possible.

As far as feeding Audio equipment, well its a plug on the wall, they won't ask or care what you plug into it with...

New Meter, New Service, New Install.

Steps for Installation

1. Contact Us at (800) 338-0178

Make sure to call us early in the planning stages so we can assess your needs and determine costs. For some customers, we may need to extend higher voltage power lines, which requires additional time.

Residential customers, please have the following information available:

Your full name
Telephone number
Service address and major cross streets
City or township
DTE Energy account number (If you need access to your online account, please sign in or create an online account.)
Commercial customers, please have this additional information available:

DTE load sheet
Riser diagram
Proof of Ownership
Legal description of property
2. Consultation

One of our representatives will contact you to schedule a consultation to review the details of the job. If you're considering future exterior modification plans such as a swimming pool, deck or patio, please mention these during your call.

3. Site Visit

We will perform a site visit to discuss the scope of the job. Please ensure the site is accessible and remove obstacles for proper assessments of equipment and work involved.

After a service route is determined, please clearly identify and expose ALL private utilities such as sprinkler or septic systems. It's a good idea to call MISS DIG at 8-1-1 to mark any known underground lines.

DTE will not be held responsible for damage to private utilities not clearly staked by the customer.

4. Dig Your Own Trench (Optional)

During the consultation process, our representative will discuss how you can reduce costs by digging your own trench.

If you decide to dig your trench, it will help you reduce installation costs but add more steps to the process. Our representative will provide guidelines for digging your trench and help you determine the appropriate route.

Note: Before digging, you will need to identify the location of existing underground utilities. MISS DIG is the specialized central clearinghouse for this service, processing requests to locate and stake most underground public utility services. Call 811 for more information.

Please note, we do not do any landscape restoration.

4. During Construction, Know Your Service Options

We will help you choose the best service option to meet your immediate needs.

Our representative will determine the location of the building service and meter equipment.
If facilities are available, we can provide temporary electric service and a pre-construction meter mount may be installed.
5. Municipal Inspection

Municipalities require inspections of electrical installations. Check with your municipality for guidelines. The inspector will verify the installation meets the National Electrical Code and the municipality's local ordinance standards.

6. Final Inspection

When your municipality approves your meter box installation, we will inspect the installation to make sure our standards are met for your safety and service. We will take final measurements as needed.

We will also verify a city inspection is complete through validation of the approval sticker or confirmation provided by the city inspector.

7. Final Documentation

We will send a Contract Agreement for you to complete and return along with payment.* Additional documents are sent if necessary. The process will not move forward until all paperwork is submitted. Please be sure to provide us with your current mailing address and email to send documentation and avoid delays.

There is a whole forum [Michigan Sportsman] with threads of people in MI talking about getting new service installed. I think they would also be surprised to learn its not possible.
