Using U.S. mains plugs in the U.K.

Steve you don't have to, we are doing the listening , but your plugs are good too, but a good power cable will help the tact 'gather stance' rather well WM

 

I would suggest that these types of 'micro tweaks' would only be carried out on the very highest of gear, where the person has more money than sense.

No I havn't heard, but find the whole idea of fitting new plug sockets, to eccept a foreign plug, bloody stupid.

And remember, from a scientific stand point, you have said it sounds better, how will you prove it?

I propose that you havn't heard a difference and refer you back to my previous post, its nice to be different. Different is not always better.

 

Garyi, I see your angle here, I have the ability to have to have the same power chord out of the samle conditioner one with a UK plug the other with the Yank end, so i can do a direct comparsion, more difference than you think, 'Hubbel' style plugs are no dearer here than a good MK £8, so providing the are 240v, then as the naim guys are so found of saying why spoil the line

 

Ah, Mr Tone.

Here's a suitable answer from earlier in the thread:

"Oh, and they sound better apparently (no fuses?)".

IMPROVED SOUND QUALITY. Is that a 'rock solid' enough answer for you, garyi?

Fused plugs sound worse than un-fused plugs - no question.

Of course, as far as having an optimised mains set-up is concerned, that only gets you a very small part of the way...

Marco.

No, it wasn't me. I'm not missing anything thank you WM, and I'm already "into it"

Cheers
