This should be a non-issue in the UK and the States (recent wiring), as we have non-reversible mains plugs/sockets, and there is a standard way of wiring live and neutral.
In Continental Europe, however, this is an issue, as the type C plug is reversible, and so you often have no way of knowing which way round you have connected live and neutral for any given appliance. European mains cables and distribution boards produced for audio systems usually have the hot pin marked in some way, to ensure consistent plugging. I am informed that it does make a difference, but as a UK consumer I have not experimented. -- bigfool1956 David Ayers Music is what counts, hifi just helps us enjoy it more ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bigfool1956's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13782 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45195 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
