Oh, come on! Really?? This sort of thing should be against the law ��
The ASA thought it was! But he got the judgement overturned on appeal: https://www.asa.org.uk/rulings/russ-...13-228690.html

I was told he used to have a trick, whereby he connected one of his fancy mains IEC leads to a kitchen radio to show the improvement. The story went that the radio had a very crude unregulated PSU,.which gave just enough voltage for a passable volume. The stock IEC cable was knobbled with a resistor. When the phool lead was plugged in, voila! A couple of extra dB! This story is heresay and I repeat it here with the disclaimer that I shall delete the post if his lawyer gets uppity -)
