    Default Russ Andrews Claim.......

    That if your kit uses a figure of 8 mains lead, tests have shown on their aftermarket leads, that it makes a sonic difference which way round you have it plugged in.

    Can this be factual?

    Has he actually made this claim in his print/web literature or is he giving an opinion.

    Indeed, who really cares.

    However, I guess it depends what kind of test was done and how factual he claims the results. If he says the test was a purely subjective one and six out of ten heard an improvement, he could claim an element of 'proof'.

    well he also says his new mains wall socket is the best socket he has ever heard, maybe so as he has probably not listened to competitors wall sockets on purpose as he knows they are probably better!

    if 5 of his co-workers listen and they hear a difference then great but what difference does it make, you buy the cable and plug it in one way, listen for a bit, plug it in the other way and see if there is a difference for the better, then that is it, what's the point of this thread anyway?

    Can anyone actually take seriously what that guy has to say any more?

    I've tried listening to my wall sockets. To be sure it was the wall sockets, I turned everything else off, including the amps, source, fish tank pump and even the fridge. I listened very hard but am afraid to say that I couldn't "hear" my sockets no matter how hard I tried.
