Ok. Here goes... do you think UK 3 prong plugs are compromised for use in Hifi components? Worse... do you think UK sockets, with on/off (for our European/American friends) are compromised? Did you ever think that fuses can impact on SQ?
I specifically ask about the fact there is a switch in our sockets. Not seen it in continental Europe.Yes, fuses seriously impact sound quality. As for UK sockets, I don't know, haven't tried.
Sorry, I have both sockets used one for the phone and the other for my HiFi. The switches are for safety, so I would rather have them than not. So there's a bit of extra noise on the line, and as long as its within a specification it should sound good.I specifically ask about the fact there is a switch in our sockets. Not seen it in continental Europe.
I know some people who wouldn't notice that effect!Approved UK plugs and sockets (switched or not) are no compromise.
And, unless it blows, a fuse won't affect the sound of a hi-fi.
Absolutely, but I tried room treatment already. Not messed with plugs yet.Like you said room treatment would be more desirable.
Some are specifically designed to handle power to amplification however they tend to be expensive and I cannot specifically hear any difference within my system. Some, particularly outside the UK might however. The idea that a mains socket can make any difference might only come into effect if one has a completely separate spur from distribution box.Don't put them on amplification. Source components only.
While it's safer for an electrician to install it, this is not something I couldn't do myself?your system installed by a qualified electrician.
