Last time I looked at that site, they were charging £76 or something for
a "low noise" mains flex (apparently it's magically perfect when it
comes out of the socket)


You were looking at the cheap ones, geoff. The real entertainment is to
be had with more expensive items...please do look...!

How do they get away with horse-**** like this....

"All WATTGATE plugs fitted to our cables (and also the ones available loose
from us) are now cryogenically treated. Cryogenic treatment involves extreme
cooling of the metal parts of the plug and the theory is that it de-stresses
them. In terms of sound quality, we’ve found that the PowerKords fitted with
treated plugs sound smoother, more three-dimensional and less ‘closed in’
than ones fitted with untreated plugs."


....for a MAINS plug, not even an audio connection!
