High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect
I only have two power points, in a small cupboard.One for the amp using the Mad Scientist Nitro.The other has a second Mad Scientist Nitro hard wired to an Eichmann power strip. The MC 0.5 would plug into the Eichmann.I'm guessing would still have...

Beware of new material claims - the case of graphene
I read with much interest the thread/discussion on Total Contact.Was wondering if anyone has tried Mad Scientist Audio's Graphene Contact Enhancer?
