I'd use the one on the top for the Kettle...as the one on the bottom is useless, it won't fit UK sockets....

I would use the bottom one.......chop and bin the funny plug top, fit a 13A Duraplug.
I would use the bottom one.......surely your cuppa would taste better.
Midrange would be more liquid.

Why don't you try both, then you would be able to tell us the answer. :lol:

Why would a mains lead impact the speed of kettle boil? Assuming they’re both in working order.

Precisely Martin.........Why indeed.?
Probably in the same way some people would have us believe they impact on the sound of hifi.

I can hear the difference from changing power leads in my system. I wouldn’t pay $4000 for one though, very happy with my DIY one, i got some bits second hand I think it would be £190 all new parts.
Decent step up from what came with the black box.

I've made up every power lead in my system......every upgrade had a positive impact on sound

Not sure they would boil a kettle any quicker though, or make the tea taste better either. I’d just stick with the £3 leads for the kettle.

one appears to be a figure of eight so wont boil a kettle at all;)

I'll stick with a £3 kettle lead for everything else too. I might bung some fancy braid sleeve on a £3 lead and see if anybody wants it for $4000 though.
This is really one of the hardest bones of contention re subjectivist and objectivist views, and it would be great to have the time and facilities to do extensive proofs to resolve and prove some science to it.
With the vast variety of gear on this forum, a weekend meet with devoted care could resolve it if everybody devoted themselves to that purpose.
I am at an extreme in which I have a (supposedly) very high resolution system, but use fairly basic leads, and others here have supposedly lesser equipment but put considerable amounts of money into leads.
This should be worked on and resolved, and could save us a lot of money, or dispel some objectivist stances on the matter.
I suppose there is little motivation to do this on the part of reviewers for fear of alienating the purveyors.

But that has been done. Many times. Everyone knows what the outcome is, it's the same every time. Some people still won't have it. So we live and let live.

But live and let live never happens with this subject...I reported this post and suggested to shut this down, before it got started, as it's just thingfish starting another shit storm cable argument, which is done to death on this forum, over and over and over again...It starts off light and easy..and it slowly but surely turns into another shit storm slanging match...we've established time and time again, that some people spend serious money on mains products...and some will not spend money on mains products at all......it's dead...

You're right of course. I'll lock the thread.
