the Powerlines with Schuko plugs

Posted by: sharik on 12 November 2016

 

when it comes to Europe, wouldn't it be better to provide the pack with a plug adaptor (of course properly selected one) instead of these dubious Furutech plugs on EU versions, especially that decoupling does matter so much? European patrons could at least be given an option as to which plug they want there Power-line to have.

Salisbury will argue that the Furutech FI-E38 (R) and the former FI-E35 (R) Shuko connectors were selected after long hours of listening tests. :]

You do get the benefit of not having a fuse in it, even a selected one.

I have a choice to make, do I change the plugs on my british power leads when I move a system to France or do I use a British block with a French plug on the end? One of the leads is a powerline so I think an experiment may be needed.

I think I read something once that between UK, European and USA plug types the European Schuko sounds the best. It was a power cable review and the reviewer had samples of the same cable in its different type with the same distribution block that had the corresponding termination.   Something to do with the earthing arrangement.

Here you go. I knew there was something good about living on this side of the waters even before Brexit and 11/9..  :tarĂ©1:

It's the component end plug that is more important in a PowerLine.

And some say the Swiss three pin versions are the best. You pay your CHF and take your choice.
