Well I hope people realise how important the length of the mains cable is.
Apparently, a cable of 1.7m is optimal as it is 1/4 wavelength of the 50Hz mains frequency….

Completely disregarding that the ‘research’ refers to the speed of sound through air not electricity through the cable, and ignoring any cable length prior to the mains socket, this 1.7m cable length is optimal for best sound quality!

Guys, I need your help. Do you think the addition of a Black Rhodium Stream Power Cable to my system will bring me a noticeable improvement in the sound quality? I've just stuck my head down the back of my sette, and I'm not quite sure where I should join it into my present wiring system.

I'm utterly convinced that site is perfect for money-laundering; buy 1000x st doodad for $0.10/unit from a manufacturer in China. 'Sell' for £3,400 each via the site using money that needs to be cleaned...

Only works if payments made in cash...

As long as it's (quatum) entangled it'll be good.

Let us know how the sound stage improvement is.

Bag of magic beans anyone?, thats utterly rediculous. Bearing in mind a high end hifi would probably want several of these
Turntable power Supply
power supply for outboard cartridge amp
CD Power supply
DAC Power supply
pre amp left,
pre amp right
power amp left
power amp right
Power supply Headphone Amp
=9

All on a house supply connected directly to your own nuclear power supply, Plus magic solid gold, eurasian ewok fur lined Shelob silk wrapped, quantum cables.

thats before you factor in any other input sources

if you google image search you will see that it’s just a universal travel adapter with a uk either side.









But my bass is deeper, sound is brighter yada yada

For £5400 I would expect a dedicated case which cost a bit more than 10p!

Has anyone the courage (or spare cash) to buy one, and take it apart ?

You can upgrade to a Quantum-Unobtanium case for just £3750, for increased separation of harmonics and sub-level soundfloor.

If you're bored, here's a day's worth of videos on fuses that make a hell of a difference to your HiFi Sound system. I'm off now to my man shed, where I'm going to chop off a piece of 4mm dia copper rod and pop it into the mains plug of myHiFi Sound system, hoping I don't blow it all up.

They're completely different things.......the Google one you found automatically translates vocals into whichever European language you like but the quality isn't very good. However, the pricey one only does English but the vocal separation and clarity converts Estuary English into perfect Queen's English and not only that, ensures that there is no EU legislation impacting the sound waves

For pitys sake the answer is there in the pictures
The quantum money grab co version has been tweaked for the UK. This was a big thing in the late 80s + 90s (that's decades not 80 -90K prices) The equipment would be tweaked for UK tastes
Quantum have just taken this a leap foreward

I thought I'd seen it all before but that really is sinking to new depths. (The travel adapter thing specifically)
