And was it a surprise?

Those super tweeters make a nice difference to the speakers

Yes.  I don't consider myself obsessed with mains.
No, you probably don't but considering the many thousands of words you have written on the subject on several forums, more than any other contributor, I conclude you are. Others may agree. 

Martin, James, Mike and others are obsessed with mains as a way to make your music sound better.
Erm, no. Like the rest of us they are simply chasing means to extract the best performance from their systems to maximise their listening enjoyment.

My issue is not with mains particularly.  Nor even safety particularly.  It is people talking nonsense - frequently just to prevent any rational discussion of specifics interfering with their core mantra.
Well there's plenty of nonsense and without doubt, you are a major contributor.

Let me give you an example of "never let the truth get in the way of a good story"

Oh well, mains.........Pinkie is a dog with a bone........whichever forum you like, 'cos he's been there, done that and got banned from a few in the process. Mains obsession is an illness. What a blessing not to be so afflicted.

I am a current member of PFM, DIY Hifi, AOS, Hifi Wigwam and this forum (maybe others I can't remember, and evidently don't frequent).  I was banned from and reinstated to AOS for something which had nothing to do with mains.  I was banned from HFS because - well, Dunn is Dunn and has a problem with being wrong.  Mains controversy has only arisen here and on HFS cos Dunn thought talking sense was an attack on NVA - even though that sense is universally recognised by the likes of Phillip Giddings and Phillip Newell - both of whom stress the need for the very safety considerations I have talked about on their installations.  This forum cherry picks - it takes the "these systems CAN be useful" bit from these experts, and just gets defensive and repeats mantras which do not address the technical points being made on the "BUT it is important to remember these safety aspects" advice from these experts.
Whatever. Sorry, I did you an injustice. Where you were not banned, you chose to shut up before the ban was applied.

Of course my view of mains is mainstream on a forum like Wigwam - with many more members and posts.  It is mainstream at SOS .  
Hmm, SOS may be more realistic than you think. Anything mainstream there should generally not be relied on.

Mains obsession is an illness. - I heartily agree. Just leave it alone and use it the way it is meant to be.
Excellent. Does that mean we all can expect some relief, not having to read more of your torturous prose on this subject?

I just love the idea that Martin goes to all this trouble to clean his mains and then wires his system ground to the neutral leg of the noisy mains supply.  It reflects the depth of understanding of the subject.
Or maybe it reflects your ignorance about Martin's depth of understanding of the subject.

Please Pinkie, just shut up and go and chew your bone somewhere else.
