Hi Adiep,I understand where you're coming from on the increased risk of RF, but more cross-sectional area on the cable runs doesn't in itself increase susceptibility to RF ingress. That has more to do with length at given RF frequencies (relative to wavelength - in effect the same basis on...

Power cords made by Roy Riches. The use woven 6mm2 cable, with good quality IEC and bare wires at the input end for hard wiring into 100A junction boxes.

Hi Robert, I use a Vertex Roraima Hi-Rez (hard wired directly into the 100A junction box on the wall) to feed the CD player and I use Beasts (also hard wired) to feed the active speakers. Dave

Hi Mike, Yep, I only have CDs but I agree, Loenard Cohen albums do seem to be beatufully recorded - a very natural, un-processed sound that is both warm and full of life. I feel a bit like I lost touch with classical music - I probably only have 40 odd classical CDs these days (had lots on...

I've been meaning to post about my mains upgrade experience for months now, but never got around to it. A bit of background first on what got me tuned into the profound effects of mains and which eventually led me invest time and a few drinking vouchers on a full mains upgrade. Apologies up...

Hi Roy, Great to hear from you. I was starting to wonder if this was the right forum to post on, period. I'll do as you suggest and start a new thread. I can't resist answering some of your questions here though. I listen to a wide ranage of music, from electronic and dance, fusion...

Hi Mike, I I have Vertex AQ kit, which is very good and honest, if not cheap. I have one serious, Reference power lead and I did take the lead off of this to feed my CD player. Haven't yet tried de-wiring the other two, but will do as soon as I'm home. I'm working in Africa now and won't...

The 32A rating on the RCBO doesn't mean it won't trip until there is 32A of fault current. RCBOs look at the difference between live and return path currents and I think the Memera 32A RCBOs kick out at something well under 30mA. More importantly, they do that much faster than a standard...

I did a fair bit of searching on best possible wall sockets and eventually went with high quality silver plated un-switched MK sockets from Missing Link. The plugs I had on my posh power cords are also silver plated, so it made sense. But as per earlier post, the difference when I tried out...

Whoops, looking at my post now, it looks like I'm crowing about 16mm2 vs 10mm2. Of course, I have no idea if it's better than 10mm2 and there's no way of proving it either way unless some people are radical enough to rip out a perfectly good 10mm2 RKR setup and replace with 16mm2. I'd guess...

Hi, I paid a total of £1,200 including electrician, CU and cables. £600 was on cables alone (mainly down to eight 18m runs of 16mm2 T&E). Guess this is the upper end, as I had long runs and a lot of work to get it all in. Dave
