Just had house wiring system checked out and had now earth bond to hot water pipes. Had this done yesterday.
My system showed a slight drop in noise floor.

I'm Tristan.
With an installation meeting the current requirements for electrical installations these bonding connectors will be already fitted. Only older properties are likely not to have these.
A fairly big (4mm sq, not sure) earth wire is strapped to any metal pipework then connected to the earth of the house wiring.
No direct connection is made to the hifi.

I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

I've read through this thread with interest as I have been looking for a solution to increase the number of sockets available.
I would like to know if there is a Schuko outlet that will fit in place of a single UK 3 pin socket. From looking at images of the Schuko outlet it doesn't seem that the fixings are in the same place as the UK socket. This isn't to attach to the wall, it is to go into an Olson block. The problem with a Schuko block for me is that I need at least 2 standard 3 pin sockets for wallwarts. One possibility would be to fit 15A round pin plugs if necessary.
Any other suggestions?
At the moment a 2 gang switched socket feeds my digital and analogue kit via separate unfiltered distribution blocks. Are separate feeds worthwhile? I was going to fit an unswitched MK socket in place of the switched one but the existing tails were too short for the MK layout, I've got another unswitched socket to try but that won't happen until I redecorate, (hopefully) later in the year

Be interesting to know
I wonder if the UK sockets on the back of my P10 could be easily swapped for Schuko.....
