Just a quick straw poll...


What are people's opinions of mains filters, upgraded power cables etc?


That mains filters may be useful if you are having a problem with audible
'clicks and pops' from the mains, and can't suppress them at source.

Ideally, though, the audio equipment is well enough designed to prevent
such problems being audible.

However, simply chainging 'mains cable' with no filter or surge suppressor
is probably a waste of effort.

Slainte,
