Mains Cables R Us Silver Plated Mains Block
« on: 31 Dec 2011, 06:59 pm »
In his last ever edition as editor of HI-Fi World David Price kindly reviewed my silver plated 6 way mains block, heartily recommended was his final comment.
The block received what I consider a glowing recommendation (and the amount of sales since testify to this) and for anyone who does not read the magazine here is the item in question:-



I take the basic block and remove the light, all internal rails and connectors including the screws which are removed first are silver plated to 15 microns by a
plater who has over 50 years experience, re-assembled and wired with belden 19364 cable, terminated with my reference silver plated mains plug and silver plated fuse,
David said in his review better solutions are available but you will have to pay serious money for these when this particular item does so much for so little.

Available now on my website. £65 plus shipping for 1 metre version.

Looks like a great, common sense product.  Do you make a US version of this?  If so, and you'd like a review, please drop me a PM.  Very interested.

Yes, a USA version would make sense and you might as well have an aluminum case done too.  Very inexpensive and great for the picky American consumer.

I suggest, if you do make a US version and begin selling here, to change your brand name to something other than the 'R Us'. The prominent toy retailer Toys R Us (and Babies R Us) have taken many to court (and won) proving that the R Us is a part of its identity.

They may have no basis to deny you the use of that name, or then again may never find out about you, but you will likely be wiped out defending yourself if they ever do.

You simply don't want to invite those kinda' problems in your life. There may well be ample examples on the internet for you to read about. Here's a couple:

http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/property/domain/toys.html
http://www.law360.com/articles/253356/toys-r-us-settles-trademark-suit-v-tobacco-seller

I don't know if they operate in the UK (probably not) so you're likely fine there if they don't.

Best of luck to you otherwise.....
