I was trying to think of a catchy title for this thread , but in all honesty the subject matter is pretty boring although the outcome may be of interest to some here.
A couple of months ago my shower packed up and I had to buy a new one . As a true audiophile ( OCD sufferer ) I decided to buy an all singing all dancing top of the range high powered jobby . When the electrician came to fit it he informed me that the cable feeding the shower from the fuse box wasn't thick enough , and was in fact substandard . He also informed me that my old ( fuse-wired ) fuse box was ' falling to bits ' . A bit like me after 3 months nightshift :)
What's this got to do with hifi I hear you ask . Well last Saturday the electrician came to rewire the shower and fit a new breaker fuse box and after a couple of hours the job was done . Now I know from past experience that mains cables make a difference to my system , so I was mildly hopeful of an improvement in SQ.
I was not to be disappointed . On firing up my system I was treated to a very audible improvement in all areas of SQ. Couldn't quite believe how good my system is sounding . Furthermore the system SQ seems to have improved as the week has progressed . Do fuse boxes burn in ? :scratch:
Anyway this is one of the best upgrades I have ever made to my system and I'm a very happy chappie :cool:
Anybody else had a similar experience ?
