Hi guys,

I got my newletter from Russ Andrews and there is a sale on for their
power blocks. Please check the following link -

http://tinyurl.com/y3bzb8

I want to know if -

1. Anyone on here has used them and noticed any change in sound
quality.
2. Are their any other alternatives without having to spend and arm and
a leg.

I am a bit concerned before buying as unfortunately we do not have any
outlets for Kimbers in Australia and the thing costs around AUD $400.


Cheers

One good alternative would be to keep your cash in your pocket. First
find out if you might benefit. Turn on your amp at its normal volume
setting - don't play music, just listen. If you can hear a load of
clicks, buzzes, chirps etc., that might be coming down the mains, then
this device might just help you. If all is silence, then it will still
be silence when you have spent the money, and you will be no further
forwards.

Do not, under any circumstances expect it to change the performance,
sound or tone of your system in any way. That is a physical
impossibility.

Oh dear :-)

Wanna buy a bridge?

Hi Don,

Thanks for the comments.

At normal volumes I hear no disturbances until I crank the volume up to
the max which I will never land up doing unless Miles Davis was to
perform live in my backyard ;-)

What intrigued me is the claim the vendor lays on enhancing the bass.
Wonder how substantiated is this claim is. Then again I am more than
happy with the clean 30hz I am getting out of my beautiful JBL woofers.


Thanks again.

Max

Put that one on the shelf alongside the talking goldfish.

**Yeah, don't waste your money. Spend it on something that actually works.

**That's because none of those things meet Australian electricity compliance
laws. Use it and if you have a problem, you can kiss your insurance policy
goodbye. Fancy power cords are a con. In some cases a very dangerous con.

Don't be silly. I m amazed trading standards haven't investigated such
claims. An external mains lead is nothing to do with the design of amp
stages or speakers.

Loads, from £1-99 to £14-99 with surge protector.

You are the equivalent to "boy racers". Look at the overpriced junk they
buy. They are a victim of advertising the same way people in this group
are. Tell them anything and they believe it.
I have some magic mains cable for sale that will silence the door bell when
certain music is played, £900 half price!
It's shame you allow yourself to be conned.

If a mains cable *does* alter the behaviour of the amp, then I'd recommend
worrying that either the amp, or the cables, have a serious fault or defect
and should be replaced.

Which people on this group are you referring to? My impression is that most
people posting here would not take such cables seriously. :-)

Slainte,

Settle down Jason read my query carefully. I am asking a question here,
which means I haven't bought anything because I am equally as skeptical
as anyone in this discussion.

G'day Trevor,

Yep mate I went and bought myself a surge protector from KMart for $20
and that's done the trick.

Though a sales guy from Audio Trends Ringwood Vic tried his best to
convince me that his $300 power chord will 'make' my Rotel CD player
sound 15% better I am not that gullible.

Again thanks for all you guys for the advice.

Max
