Rhodium plated audio grade wall socket


Is this snake oil?

https://www.mcru.co.uk/product/rhodium-plated-audio-grade-wall-socket/?v=79cba1185463

I am renovating my house so have the opportunity to overhaul everything including the electrics. I am having a dedicated line from the breaker box/RCD to my hifi equipment. Will adding these types of wall sockets also help reduce interference from other household appliances, routers etc? What does Rhodium actually do in this case? It’s less conductive than copper, silver and gold.

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

Personally I’d stay away from those ugly, stupid UK wall sockets and plugs.

Use USA plugs and sockets, it’s ok to do as long as your wall sockets are protected properly and I guess the UK being what it is you would need the installation properly certified for insurance but you will save a fortune in cables.

15 amp USA = 7 amp UK or 20 amp USA = 10 amp UK. (240V)

These are continuous current ratings. I run a 3KW power conditioner fused at 12.5 amps off a 20 amp USA cable. UK max is 13 amps so no real difference.

Don’t go down the EU Schuko road.

Wall sockets to choose include Oyaide, Furutech, SR Purple, QSA etc.
