Good old Russ. He has come up with another winner. But I think that his
enhanced top of the range Amstrad Sky box may be even better value at £611 -

How's about £1,183 for what otherwise is an 80p kettle cable ?

http://www.russandrews.com/product.a...WGGSXPYLGKRJPJ

Reduced from £1,315 !!!!!! Buy now while stocks last.

Maybe he does BOGOF's as well.


And the Register report of his little problem over this with the ASA

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. They still publish
"The Gramophone" which used to be, at least, the most prestigious
audio magazine.

Despite what the experts had to say in the Register article
it seems "What H-Fi" are quite happy to generate their own
particular brand of bull**** as well. This is for an £112,
4 way trailing socket.




quote

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.

All this bleeding edge technology from a green painted unit on
an industrial estate in Cumbria.
