Can you give me an idea on cost - as I'm considering the same......
What benefits have you noticed so far?

Hi Big Air, as its a new installation it has to be installed by a Domestic Part P installer. Cost was £125 inclusive.
Installation is fairly simple TBH. 6mm twin and earth cable + 32A MCB. Could have saved a bit of money and connected the socket myself and run the cable, then you would only need the Leckie to wire into the consumer unit.
Had some other cable runs moved in the cellar and tidied up at the same time so was happy to give the job to the Leckie.
He tested the cct and my Z(earth value) for the house as well as testing the downstairs ring cct. All certified sothats good.
Initial thoughts, bit early because my kit need to warm up, but there seems to be a greater range to the dynamics,much more drive in the music noise floor is also non existant. Will post more when kit warmed up properly.

Sounds good so far - and at that cost it's bit of a no-brainer ......

True Blue:As above, heaven. Equipment still warming up. Initial thoughts.............drool 
When you've had a good listen could you report back on whether the Tacima and the Powerchord improve things on the dedicated circuit.

They will. Because they filter RFI (radio) The dedicated supply isolates the ring main noise (Magnetically induced) (microproscessors, washing machines refrigerators etc) and also allows the equipment to draw as much current as IT requires
Am down in Portsmouth could give you the leckies number, he may travel up there. If it doesnt contravene house rules????
Hmmm, strange, the sound is open and incredibly detailed, vocals pianos and strings are amazing. The dynamic range has definately improved.
The strange part, thinking I am getting a little bit of listening fatigue because there is so much detail, anyone else had this?? Or is it because I am analyzing the sound rather than listening?
Only been listening for about 3.5 hours.
