Dave is a clown and I'd never buy anything from him again.

Simple really. Don't post and it will have the same effect.

pardon my ignorance but what is the purpose of these expensive power cords and power blocks?

Judging by the last bake off I went to - to annoy you by being big, cumbersome and too short.

To make your wallet lighter so it’s easier to carry and doesn’t make such a big bump in your back pocket.

That said, Dave is a top bloke!

I’d be happy to not read your posts instead if that’s easier for you?

Oh, hang on….

Yes, I guess people are always far more likely to leave negative reviews. I certainly don't often take the time to leave positive reviews.

Like others I've happily bought from MCRU before - just some of the cheap Belden shielded mains cable.

I contacted him once about a LPSU, took about 1 week to answer my email and never replied to my second email.

Not considered using him anymore. Yes plenty of negative reviews about him.

Wouldn't you be better off describing the reason for your opinion rather than just making an unsubstantiated and rude comment about him. Whether you have good reason to or not, I don't know, but if you want to share a bad experience with others so they can avoid it surely there are better ways?

But a melodramatic flounce is so much more fun!

Almost like the old days isn't it? Haven't had a good flounce for ages.

Like most things, the claim is that they improve sound quality. You won't get a consensus on whether they actually do or not though.

Although the MCRU product seems reasonable compared to this FFS...

Is the answer "Man, if y' have to ask, you'll never know" ?

The V.a.t. on that power cable is more than I spent on my whole system

That is just obsurd! They just talk out of their arses & anyone falling for it deserves to be fleeced imo :doh:

I have one on my kettle, you wouldn't believe the difference this made to my tea......it tastes like heaven on earth

I’m afraid this is just the sort of silliness that this thread doesn’t need. You haven’t tried an audiophile mains lead on your kettle as the connectors are different and they won’t work together.

Honestly, some people…..

If you want to do something sensible with it that will actually work, then try it on your printer instead and watch your Word documents print in 8K UHD with the inkiest blacks you’ve ever seen…

Just an update, having recently hardwiring my cooker with the same cable, I have now been nominated for a Michelin star......
