[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 453643, member: 1607"] At the end of the day we are all different and have our own personal quirks, hobbies, interests or pet hates, that we choose to spend our hard earned money on or not. Some may like expensive fishing gear and sit on a wet river bank for hours on end, or expensive wine as it tastes better than supermarket wine even though it all ends up a few hours later as human waste, or having designer label clothes that are double or triple the price of reasonable functional cheaper items, or investing time and money in to a car or motorbike that you only drive in the summer months so it won't get wet or dirty. So, if someone wants to spend their money on something that they think will improve their audio experience, then fine that's their choice. But the thing I don't understand is why the people who are experts at advising on this "magic" audio improvement gear, don't also check the requirements of electrical installations as per the guidance of BS7671. It looks like they can research one aspect of their hobby, but miss out defects to fundamental safety aspects of the whole installation that can result from some of the audio improvement alterations. Why don't the websites selling these (rather expensive) electrical accessories, which have great detail about the specification (and how it enhances the audio experience), also list all of the applicable wiring regulations that must still be complied with when replacing a perfectly functional accessory.
