It isn't just Russ Andrews himself though. I always thought Haymarket Publications - the publishers of "What Hi-Fi" were a fairly reputable outfit as far as magazine publishers go anyway. On their website they reviewed a "high-end" USB lead mentioning how warm the sound was when played to their external DAC, I commented asking how the £50 cable could improve the digital signal in a way a 50p cable couldn't ... the comment was deleted. |

I would not want to buy a lead that made the DIGITAL signal sound warm. It would have to be defective to do that. |

Oh dear !
On the plus side, the bigger side in this case, the Powerlink
delivers greater spaciousness and detail to our reference stereo set-up. We wouldn't characterise our test Naim/Bryston/ATC system's sound as particularly coarse ordinarily, but the Russ Andrews smoothed any rough edges, opened up the sound agreeably and liberated the finest points of Mogwai's May Nothing But Happiness Come Through Your Door with casual efficiency. Civilising unruly sound The downside of this additional insight is an unwelcome gentility. The song loses some urgency, lacking the drive and attack evident without the Powerlink in place, replacing it in part with a stateliness of which we can't wholly approve. http://www.whathifi.com/review/russ-andrews-powerlink /quote Sez it all really, thats why I don't buy comics!.... All this bleeding edge technology from a green painted unit on an industrial estate in Cumbria. I thought he had a spaceship;?.. michael adams ... -- Tony Sayer |

Andy I was talking to someone last week who was telling me how much better his music sounded with his "quite expensive" mains cable. My obvious amusement only elicited a fervent "no honest, it really does make a lot of difference". This same person insisted that I couldn't possibly be correct when I say I can download from the net at 1.6MB, just not possible. -- Ian |

Buy now while stocks last. But it does have "very low mains impedance" Steve Terry -- Get a free GiffGaff PAYG Sim and £5 bonus after activation at: http://giffgaff.com/orders/affiliate/gfourwwk I made my own 'designer' mains lead for a Cambridge Audio CD player, using a length of braided 'iron' flex from a small electric shop, a right-angle IEC connector from the local Maplin's, and an MK mains plug I had spare (one of the proper ones with 'wraparound' terminals and no loose bits, that you can't get in the shops any more). Looked expensive, cost less than £10! If you look through on-line suppliers such as CPC, Rapid Electronics, Studiospares etc, you can get all the bits for designer leads quite cheap. |
