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?
And how about the mains connector on the amp etc itself?

It's laughable that the last few metres of cable would make any
discernible difference when the power comes from multiple different
sources, through all manner of connections and transformers, and have
all sorts of interference from all manner of noisy loads. It's beyond
belief, the disconnection of logic.

I gave up even opening one particular "HiFi" magazine following an article
which told me that a mains plug with gold plated pins inproved the stereo
separation.

The one that gets me is the phrase
"integrity of the electricity"
What the h*ll does that mean?

It isn't beyond belief. Quite the reverse. It's ALL belief.
