Proof reading not always a strength
About three weeks ago we had a huge mains outage on our road. There was apparently a surge from another substation that fried all of the cable for the whole length of the street - 200m +. The engineers said it was the worst they'd seen in 20 years. They said the cable was very thin and old for such a busy street and was probably installed when most houses has one tv and a toaster. They were of the view that quite a few cables might struggle once electric cars are added to computers, routers, multiple tv's and devices, halogen hobs and so on.
It left us without poor for 18 hours and we've then been hooked up to a mobile generator until today when normal service was restored.
I've just put some music on and cannot believe the difference it has made. I knew it was having an impact - all the lights dimmed and flickered when anyone turned the bathroom light/ extractor on. The hi fi has, unsurprisingly, sounded flat and dulled since the outage.
Today I have depth and sparkle back!
It's made me wonder whether a decent mains conditioner might be worth getting to tidy it up even more. Thoughts?
