These look interesting:

But they cost £19.95 from hififorsale. Cant find them anywhere else, anyone tried them? They looka bit like the Wattgate IEC things but mains plugs instead.

There is a much better one than that its the clear one as used by Kimber looks great





Its made for outside water proof use, its sold in the UK

I did know where to buy them, there is a thread on hi fi choice with full details, but at present I can not remember the details



will do some homework I think Mr Coherent here might know

[snapper]

I find this place http://whs.ingraphix.co.uk/ a great source for cables,plugs etc.

"clipsal" do them in their weatherproof range.
looks good , allows large diameter cable and is a snug fit into socket

[Davewhityetagain]

Found them



£6.50 each http://www.screwfix.com

[Miller-8]

Nice one - thanks!

[Davewhityetagain]

If you really want to go to town make your distribution block by buying the matching sockets then the outer ring of the plug screws onto the socket for a great fit that can not come lose

[Mr Coherent]

What you really want is one of these simpley the best plug I've heard of the genre

[Mr Coherent]

Dave,

Problem with the clipsils, is try putting 2 together in a double wall socket, they don't sound that good either, most guy uses them purely to put large diameter cables in.
Which IMO defeats the point as the hang horizontally and the weight of the cable pulls the socket out of the wall (if they use those 13mm+cables)
IMO

Coherent, that picture isnt showing in my browser for some reason, what is it?

[Mr Coherent]

[Miller-8]

And how much is it? Judging by the prices of the other stuff I dread to think..:Not Sure:

[Mr Coherent]

$78

[jonjin]

Hmmmm...

I was thinking of getting some rhodium platted ones myself? Any comments/experiences?

Ta.

[Mr Coherent]

Furutech don't do Rhodium plated versions of that plug currently
However I have no plans to change mine

Clipsal are a lighting Company. WTF has that got to do with HiFi. Just use a standard plug from B&Q, unless we are now expected to beleive that plugs make a difference too. :raoflmfao::raoflmfao::raoflmfao:

[Miller-8]

So you reckon it's worth the price? Certainly looks nicely made. Are the pins gold plated? Also, do you sell them if not where can you buy em?

[Mr Coherent]

Best UK plug I've tried PERIOD
I had 5 a few weeks backs, before the UK launch.
I don't source from the UK.

try get 12mm plus cable into a duraplug then big boy

[hifiwigwam]

Why do you need 12mm cable in a plug? It's single phase mains into my HiFi not bus bars and Commando sockets running round the house.
