Mains cables - pointless if using a 4-way?

[fatboyslimfast]

Hi all. Due to socket restraints, I have to use an extension lead for my kit.

Does this make aftermarket mains leads pointless?

I don't see why it would - if anything might strengthen the argument for them.

Why don't you replace the 4 way extension with a mains conditioner like Isotek Gemini or Orion or a Tacima CS929 if you're on a budget. Using a specialist mains cable certainly wouldn't be pointless then.

I think they are pointless in the first place.

Hmm, nice idea. Might look into a Tacima before anything else. Cheers...

I tend to agree

Hi FBSF

I got myself a Tacima a few months ago, found that it improved the picture and sound plus the surge protection gives peace of mind.

Me too but also agree with the point about surge protection being useful (actually does something which is an objective improvement) but you can buy surge protection much cheaper!
