Mains Cables-r-us Reviews

They didn't have a part in stock but contacted the manufacturer and got back to me the next day (when they said they would). Friendly, not the cheapest for each component but overall price was right! Will buy from again.

I value quality, quality of materials, and of workmanship. The product I purchased met this criteria, and then some, plus a service to match

I bought a few minor things of little value and the service was as good as if I spent $3k. I won't hesitate to go through them again

The 6 Gang Block came exactly when David said it would and it was all and more than I expected, a very honest and great guy to do business with

Great products available with good email communication regarding the order process

The MeiCord ethernet cable when connected between my Gigabit switch and network audio player ( Naim ND5 XS) produced a vast improvement in sound quality with improved bass, clarity and sharpness of vocals and instruments and good timing.

ORDERED TWO ITEMS ARRIVED WITHIN 48 HOURS EXCELLENT COMMS, A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH.

A serious retailer with a fast response and interesting products. The cables I bought was in perfect condition.

I had just bought myself a decent Arcam amp/cdp set up and a friend with a similar set-up suggested that by upgrading the power leads and mains block that I would hear further sonic improvements. I've always been sceptical about the benefits of these "amazing" improvements just by changing power cables. My friend heartily recommended Mains Cables-r-us, and said that if I didn't hear any improvement within 30 days I could always return them and get a full refund. OK I thought, I'll give it a shot and contacted MCRU. All I can say is that from start to finish I have received nothing short of excellent service, superb communications, and despatched exactly when they said it would be. The leads and block are of a very high quality, and yes they have made a difference! Not "night and day" as some people would have you believe, but a subtle one nonetheless. For someone like me who listens to my hi-fi a lot this is money well spent I reckon, and I shall certainly be contacting MCRU again as and when I need further AV accessories.

PS: thanks for the free CD packed in with the leads!

I have found it very refreshing dealing with this supplier. To have virtually instantaneous replies to queries makes the shopping experience both rewarding and satisfying.

The range of products is good and if not in stock you are told how long it will be before they are.

Nice to find such a genuine and helpful retailer who goes the extra mile.

Rebuilding my Hi-Fi system has been one long jig saw puzzle. A performance ceiling had been reached. Thanks to two purchases the jig saw is complete (for the time being). First was Belden 83803 (DIY) mains cable for the power amplifier. Second was Vermouth Audio Black Pearl Interconnects between CD player and Pre-amp in conjunction with 10dB attenuators. The end result is a musical system which my wife has been heard to describe as "fantastic".

Well made products at a good price that do work,

I bought the main cable . It was run out,but they don't tell me until I phone them and they tell me that, it is run out. I just give them 2 stars for servicing.

Read the reviews about this company and gave them a go. Got some good info about new IEC connectors and decided to buy a pair recommended by David, Furutech F1-11R,s!!
Unfortunately the pair I chose were not in stock but it took a week before I was told of the error, from that point on things just didn't get much better? A supplier/manufacturer problem delayed all shipments and no amount of sourcing could come up with any IEC's to fill the order. Around three weeks after ordering the first one arrived, it was then another two wks before the next arrived, a modified version so I have two examples of the same thing!! Not much you can do in those circumstances when you cant get stock but the responses, for the most part, had to be prompted by me to find out what was happening as I am not the type to accept occasional one line answer's that just state the obvious!!
Nothing malicious about any of the correspondence just simply not enough detail, also felt that phone calls could have improved matter's and where, if explained what the problem was, we could have altered the order to something else and done away with the all the bother, but, ce la vie!!
The connector's tho were definitely as described by David so no fault there, right on the money, far superior to the standard wattgate 320i that I replaced, superb sound overall and much better value than their price would suggest, from that point of view the bloke knows his stuff, other areas however just need a bit more work, 5 and a bit wks is a bit much?

The sound from the Logitech Sqeezebox was siginificantly imporved with the Mains Cables-r-us product

ordered delivered and used . As always fast and eficient service
good quality products for the diy audiophile

Purchased Bluehorizon spike shoes. Happy with results they do their job well and improve the sound of my speakers at a reasonable price.

Ordered the Mains Cables-r-us Lapp Offlex mains cable (2 metre length) with Wattgate 320i iec and MK Tough Plug all with silver plated pins and contacts on the 17th May. Took a little longer that I expected arriving on the 29th May. This may be the standard lead time but it would be useful to have some idea that this is the case. Having said all that I was very impressed with the look of the cable even before I connected it up. Beautifully constructed and really looking the business. I hooked it up to my CD player (Creek Audio Destiny) and straightaway noticed an improvement in the sound. It's now been in use for a couple of days and has continued to get better and better completely transforming the sound. Lovely tonality, splendid detail and very clear bass lines are but three of the major improvements I've noticed. I have been using Russ Andrews (now discontinued) Yello Mains Cables and the obvious step up would be their Classic Reference. However, at £147 for a 2 metre length this is more than double the price of the Mains Cables-r-us and does not even have the silver plating. What a bargain my new purchase is! Despite the many claims made for Russ Andrews Kimber cable the German made Lapp Offlex seems more than a match for it and I believe I would have to spend a very great deal more in order to top the quality of sound I'm now getting. As soon as funds provide I intend to purchase another two leads for my pre and power amps. Thank you.

easy order on a great website. products as on the tin,fast and easy
checkout will make first stop for my mains products in future.

Bought a Moth RCM from Mains-Cables-R-Us, and I gotta say it is really good. Am well pleased with it. The chap who runs Mains-Cables-R-Us (David Brook) is very good to deal with, nothing is too much trouble and he offers a fast, friendly service. I have already cleaned some of my records and they are like new, no, better than new! There is definitely more detail to be heard in certain recordings now they are thoroughly cleaned. I am very happy.

All the items i have bought from David at Mains Cables-r-us just work and have enhanced the performance of my system.I believe in value for money and that is what ive had from this company Thanks!

I found the website informative and easy to use. The order was efficiently dispatched and I was kept up to date by emails as to the progress of the order. The Isotek ultimate system set up disc I ordered proved to just as useful as the review I had read indicated. It does much more than just identify channels and correct phase. It enables you to very accurately position your speakers for maximum detail in both width and depth of the sound. Lastly, it has several useful demo tracks of different types of music.
Well worth the money.

Very fast service and pleased with the results,Will use again for sure.!!!!

I have read lots of glowing reviews of the customer care that David Brook provides and I can now happily vouch for their accuracy. David was quick to respond to my enquiries and provided helpful guidance. The experience from ordering to shipping was also first-rate with a status update at each stage. The order I received was packaged very securely. I was very pleased with the items I ordered. I have no hesitation in using Mains Cables R Us again, nor in recommending them to others.
