I'm wondering if I should set up a business selling gold plated mains
cables with 13A plugs to the more gullible members of the hifi
fraternity for £99.99 a throw? Obviously, I would need to do a
course on creative writing first :-)

Jo

Incatech already did that!

How about this then:
"Merlin powerblock....4-way power extension block...fitted with noise
absorbing system...elimination of stray emissions and prevent the degrading
of your hi-fi sound."

A snip at £145 each, P18, Wilmslow Audio catalogue.

Bummer, there goes my get rich quick plan.

Unless somebody wants to buy some extension power blocks from me, complete
with surge suppression and noise filtering. I can do them for £99.99 and
this isn't a wind-up, I really can offer these items.

There's some lovely phrases on that website:

"..featuring sophisticated circuitry for dealing with mains noise and
voltage spikes without limiting dynamic headroom."

"Traditional solutions would simply filter the mains supply to the products
attached, by using simple, but dynamically constricting filtration."

"...utilising Shiva, Vishnu, or Valhalla, prioritising the input cable
first; and by attaching Nordost Pulsar Points to the M6 threaded inserts in
the base of the unit to control any unwanted resonances the Thor offers an
unparalleled solution to advanced power distribution."

"Quantum QRT Resonance Technology is also used; this is a proprietary
material treatment system, which by the use of cutting edge technologies
minimises environmental electrical resonance noise."

Wonderful stuff :-)
