Hi Brian , yes I was told to try a tuning fuse ? I guess I'll have to give those a try next .

Don't know about these HIFI Tuning fuses . But I can certainly vouch for the ones I tried ,at a much lower price too.

I think that's what he meant Brian ? £12 sounds ok to me anyway

The one I'm using is also in the Furutech plug for my mains block . I've ordered another for the MK silver-plated plug for my amp. I will pass on my findings , be good if you could do likewise Christopher .

Glad you guys are liking the Furutech. There's a reason why I use the Rhodium versions, throughout my system. Some things in life are worth paying for. For the serious audio and music enthusiast, an FI-1363 (R or G) mains plug is one of them...

Smile, and enjoy your music, with Furutech

Marco.

Too right mate . I haven't tried the Rhodium plug but I must admit I really like the ( tiny bit ) more laid back presentation I got when I installed the gold plated Furutech plug . In the bigger scheme of things Marco this isn't such an expensive upgrade when I consider what I've paid in the past for a lesser improvement.

Entering the fray late I know but lets clear something up here regarding the Furutech plug. Yes, it does not YET have approval from the relevant authorities and yes, that technically puts it in with other non-approved plugs. Do not make the mistake of thinking that automatically makes it unsafe as thats pure speculation and innaccurate. The legislation is primarily aimed at preventing cloned, counterfeight and unsafe plugs which lack the proper certification and would certainly never achieve it from being distributed and sold in the UK. Note though that the current lack of approval is NOT a deliberate action by Furutech who applied 2 long years ago for approval from the BSI and are still waiting for confirmation of that approval! Also, this does NOT automatically render that plug unsafe at all. They designed and built it to comply fully with the standards. Anyone examining that plug knows that it is better constructed than a majority of plugs on the market and I personally know of one trader who has tested it against many plugs (including BSI approved plugs) with some serious amounts of overload current. All other plugs including the approved ones failed long before the furutech one. That is circumstantial evidence regarding the plug and in no way helps qualify it in a legal sense at all but it tells me something about it.

I am assured that Furutech are chasing up that approval and that there have been no indications at all that it will not be forthcoming.

Exactly- pen pushers who have nothing better to do than scaremonger to keep themselves and their department in jobs HSE gone mad- accident and emergency are struggling to cope with mains plugs related injuries.
