    I've bought various bits from David, Belden mains cable and a couple of connectors. In each dealing he was super quick and professional with excellent communication - he was also very competitively priced.

    Hi Mark , these mains cables were built to my specifications . Silver plated UK mains plug , IEC plug , and 4mm copper cable . I'm not sure if this is a specific cable which MCRU sells . If you contact David Brook at MCRU with your requirements I'm sure he will be able to help you out . He's a top guy .
    Regards

    All is well here.

    What changed my mind? I first tried a mains regenerator and that gave me a consistent sound at any time of the day.
    I then tried a hybrid mains cable, and heard a difference, even though I didn't want to.

    I once tried The Ultimate cable from Dave. I didn't notice any difference but that's just me. I, like Brian make all my own power leads mainly from stuff available from hifi collective. I think there is a benefit from having a decent mains cable but I'm not sure what that benefit is.

    Sometimes that's the way of it Kevin . These MCRU mains cables are very good indeed

    At least you tried one Andy . You are therefore qualified to make the statement that it didn't work for you . I think that the knowledge that you are feeding your equipment with the best possible power leads would be good enough for me .
