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 -)

I know Russ and his small 12 person team up in Kendal pretty well. And they are all honourable, straight-up people. There is absolutely no way that Russ would get up to that sort of shenanigans.
Also, I was responsible for getting the ASA ruling overturned after a full day of emissions and immunity tests at 3C Test at Silverstone
http://www.3ctest.co.uk/ . Faced with hard evidence, the ASA withdrew their ruling.
