Has anyone ever tried Titan audio mains cables?
I've heard some rather bold claims from a dealer about these, and I'm naturally rather sceptical but I'll keep an open mind.
Thoughts?

Here's an interesting question Barry.
What are the dynamics that occur during arcing when then is no conduction medium except air?
I am and always have been utterly fascinated by lightning and to date I have not seen a comprehensive analysis of how lightning forms or discharges, except for positive and negative electrons accumulating in the atmosphere bulding up huge charges. Then along comes the discovery of Sprites in the upper atmosphere which has thrown a curved ball at the scientists.

DAC/pre = Rotel RC 1572
Power amp = ADA PF201
Speaks = Quadral Chromium Style 6
Sorry - I'm no expert, but you might find the Wikipedia article of interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning
There is some though that naturally occurring radon help with ionisation; which is why lightning strikes at sea are rare.
Mention was made of fulgurites, formed when lightning strikes sady soil. I came across some when I was trekking in Mauritania, and kept them as a souvenir.
'Sprites' are a different phenomenon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(lightning)

have not read the whole thread but has anyone here got an opinion on "audio grade" fuses??????
mains cables are usually 1m plus in length but these things are no more than an inch!!!!

>or Garage 1217 Project Ember (as pre)>Rega Elex-R>Dynaudio M10.
ANALOGUE: Rega P8>Rega Aria> Rega Elex-R>Dynaudio M10
I know someone who has uber expensive fuses contained in a custom velvet lined box. He dare not use them in case they fuse.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I have a bunch of 'em in my system, works for me.
One of those tweaks though that I'd only put in once the main parts of your system are sorted, then better interconnects and...ahem...mains cables.
It all makes a difference in my experience, just depends how deep down the rabbit hole you wish to go.
