I like mine to be in alphabetical order.
I quite like cloudy apple juice.it has never occurred to me to share it with my amplifier? Your amp drinks juice Mr cheetham? I suggest rooibos tea for amp as it's less acidic! Ps try going t amp? Uses hardly any 'juice' sounds brilliant!DomCheetham said:Anyone interested in how to order the plugs its turns out that:

Must dig it out soon and test the newer led down lighters.
My old amp idles at over 40 watts, which means it is always warm. Wouldn't allow that these days!

A cheap mains extension block is a tacima cs947 I think the new model is to replace the cs929. Cheap on ebay
Put the tv and computer on one and the amp and dac on an other. Keep phone chargers routers or anything using a wall mart amps power supply out of the dac one use minimum in that one as possible.
You can try one but don't plug everything straight into it try 1 at a time starting with dac Let us know how you get on.

A few of these dotted around on certain cables ...
I've had mine so long I don't even remember buying them (a couple of them were a free gift I think).

I know right *biggrin*

It really doesn't matter. Also, unless your amp is class A the quoted wattage would be at full output.
ellisdj said:Anything with a smps power supply puts noise on the mains - computer router blu ray player etc. Then there is airborne noise from wireless and mobile phones very high freq. Lights I never even thought of that one as well.

But as always looking past £30 units to something £1k + isotek aquarius springs to mind or a used isotek titan will show this more. Home demo first before spending this much though obviously. If you try these I bet they will end up staying put and not sent back.

All those switch mode PSUs in your house will insidiously vibrate your brain molecules and make you buy pointless overpriced foo like Isotek, so beware. You could try playing music with everything in your house likely to cause interference unplugged from the mains, but that is far too easy and inexpensive.
ellisdj said:Usual horse manure from TrevC talking about something he has no experience of and has never tried.
But in TrevC world he doesn't need to as he gets perfect sound for no money.
For everyone else who wants to work towards Really good sound that from what I have heard even from £100k+ systems they would all benefit from the things I recommend. There has not been a system I have heard loads now that wouldn't.
If it was as easy as TrevC spouts to get amazing sound coat hangers bell wire cheap and cheerful bits then a hifi show walk round would be perfect sound room after room. Does anyone think this is true?
ellisdj said:Depends on what you call good sound TrevC / how good you know it can get compared to where you are.
I think there needs to be a new house rule. If you don't own a piece of kit or have had first hand experience then comments on them should be moderated. This forum is ruined because there is constant negativity towards everything by people who clearly have years of knowledge but still only have limited experience same as everyone regardless of how righteous they want to appear
