Jase, on the strength of your recommendation and the price of this product, I have today purchased the The Classic PowerKord 1m DCT UK Plug W320i and also opted for the 'Cable Burn-In' service for an additional £13.50.
I'm expecting a huge improvement - let's see when it arrives.
Im very certain you should see a difference, what will you be using it on TX?
On the 2500T in the first instance.
Thats were i use mine, with great results so ill be surprised if you DONT see or hear a difference. If you dont, then id ask you to leave our cult with immediate effect ha

BB - I chose to have this cable 'burnt-in' by RA so when the cable arrives, I know that it is optimised for performance, and I expect to see and hear major differences in sound and picture quality from the word go. There would be no excuses.
I don't want to wait 500 hours to see what this cable can do - it either stays or goes back.
Its all debatable but I believe equipment will take time to become accustomed to the new cable, so whilst you certainly 'should' hear an immediate difference with a fully 'used' cable, I also believe it will get better over the next few hours or even weeks

bigboss:Ok, so the extra 14 quid for burn-in service is not refunded but the cost of the cable is.............that makes more sense.
Looks like that cost is 'burnt' all right!!!
It should just be a no-quibble refund, end of!
Looks like that cost is 'burnt' all right!!!
just a thought , but is there any device available , that can be plugged into a socket , to check wheather or not there is a clean power supply ?? it would save people paying for cables they may not need ....
Whatever these cables are doing, they are not "cleaning" the supply. You'll need a filter to do that.

Guys.
Contacted RA on Friday, seems to be a weeks delay on my Powerkord, order it 7 days ago and RA say it will be another week.
They must be snowed under with orders at these prices.

Tell me about it. I ordered my cables 2 weeks ago and am still waiting for them to arrive. Phoned them this week and they advised the same to me. I was beginning to think the order had gone missing.

I think youll find Russ Andrews (Using Ben Duncans research) has since proven that braided cables DO physically lessen RFI in the main supply and further to that have proven that in doing so the 'noise floor' of an amp is lowered

Russ Andrews hire out The Sniffer, but it is for deciding whether you need a conditioner as opposed to cables

Well, if Russ Andrews says it, it must be true. It's just a pity that Ben Duncan Research didn't get that paper published in a peer reviewed journal (or did they?).
I've had a bit of a read and, it does seem as though there may be some evidence to suggest the attenuation of RFI by braiding. That said, it would appear to be minimal at best and difficult to achieve in anything other than ideal conditions.
This article isn't a bad read. It's by Jim Lesurf, a recently retired physics and electronics professor (UK).

My mate who works for a big company making stuff for the government for killing people commented that braiding is the easiest way to remove the effects of RFI/EMI from cables. They do it for military applications to 'harden' electronic systems.

That's terrible news. If it doesn't show up in 10 working days as specified in the order, I'll just cancel it.

I ordered Last wek , site said out of stock 5 day lead time ,I was in no hurry , shocked when they arrived in 3days sp pich of salt required

Ill have a proper read laters but I do note hes only used 3 wires at best which I find next to useless. Personally I use 16 core ones (The more wires, the better the RFI cancellation)
I would love some 24 core ones, but only Russ does them and theyre stupidly expensive

jase fox:These figure of 8s can go in either way but one way is better than the other i tried BOTH ways & the arrow side is much better believe me, i think RAs may of added the arrow to help us along the way as it wasnt present on the earlier ones when they first came out.
The only trouble with that is that each piece of equipment may be configured differently inside, the only way to be sure that the figure 8 power lead is connected for the best polarity is to use something like this. I've had one for a while and as Jase says, there's always one way of fitting the lead that will produce better ploarity than the other, this device makes it easy to find out which.
