Marco's Mains Madness - unleashing the Furukawa Beast!

[Marco]

Hi James,

If one end of your 25mm armoured is to your hifi, what is at the other end of the armoured cable?

The connection from the incoming mains supply (from the substation) at my meter and CU downstairs. From there, the armoured cable in question runs along the side of the house, through the wall on the outside, and into my listening room upstairs, where it meets the junction box, powering my system.

I trust that the set-up I have in place is clearer now

I should also mention that all my mains leads are fitted with fused 13A plugs, as is all my equipment fitted with its internal case fuse(s). The dedicated mains supply feeding my hi-fi system is also shut down, when I'm away for any length of time, and the system disconnected.

Marco.

Hi Mike,

Effectively, yes!

Marco.

Don't you have to have a fuse/safety between what comes in from street and any wire running in your house. (In addition to the 100amp or whatever you main fuse is). Or am I not quite understanding your set-up?

[Marco]

No, it's more that I didn't mention it...

There is a 100A service fuse in-line with the incoming mains supply. It was upgraded from 80A to 100A, a few years ago by my local electricity supplier when we had a power shower fitted, which coincidentally resulted in a notable sonic improvement from my system (due to further lowering the impedance)
