[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 453152, member: 6969"] It might "work" as in electricity comes out of both sockets but it is NOT SAFE because the ring circuit is now broken. Try fitting two of them like that on the same circuit, then you will find it does not "work" If you paid £170 for that, then the saying "a fool and his money......." It looks like from that website you have been sold it on the missguided promise of using rare materials and supreme workmanship it will improve the audio quality of a hifi plugged into it. UTTER BALONEY. There is Nothing wrong with a standard double socket, and you will not notice any difference. Let me guess you also paid £100 or more for special fuses to put in the plugs? I wish I had the nerve to charge ridiculous prices for tat to the gullible, but I am more honest than that. [/QUOTE]
