mains cable rip off
Posted by: minime on 08 July 2003
isotek mains cables fitted with mk toughplug and 10 amp iec £50 tough plugs £3.18 and iec 10 amp £2.00 isotek wire rs cat sy 379-154 50 metre drum £60.14 so thats around 33 cables at 1 and a half metres so £1.81 per lead. so if we do the maths around £8.00 per full lead pay someone labour charge etc. how can they charge £50 that cost £8.00 to make what a bloody rip off no labour charge warrants a £42.oo mark up. i for one will not be buying any of these but will be making my own and calling them meotekk 
. this is really disgraceful and anyone selling their product should think again .

For the record, I tried all sorts of differing quality and quantity of mains cables and distribution blocks, and ended up with Kimber (This was before Isotek started so i will try them at some time).
In any case, if you don't think the outlay is worth it, then why buy it? I found the improved clarity and timing worth it so forked out.
