Christmas Snake Oil anyone ?. (V expensive mains extension block).
Boredom has set in already, so it's time to check out the online
sales, but for some reason I clicked on my HiFi choice bookmark by mistake and noticed this product :- http://www.hifichoice.co.uk/news/art...etition/25866/ "While the basic mains cables that come bundled with components do a good job of getting it the power it needs to run, they invariably lack the quality of materials and high-end construction that are required to protect the integrity of the electricity, resulting in a significant reduction in quality." err, what do powerline ethernet extenders do to the 'quality' of the electriccery ?. PS It retails at £695 :-) "seven lucky runners up will get an Evo3 Initium mains cable (worth £75)." Oooh. A £75 kettle lead. Crikey. |

So you then replace all the wiring in the house, then street etc, with the same 'high quality' stuff?
