Very pro and fast responses on a specific and rare research. Prompt feedback and tight price. Just perfect to me. (Delivery to France) Thanks to David

First class.
Nice to find such a genuine and helpful retailer who goes the extra mile.
I will be back
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".
Great product and service;-))
Well made products at a good price that do work,
SYSTEM ENHANCING PRODUCT SOURCE
Fig.8 Mains Cable by McRu improved both audio and video at a reasonable price. Service was prompt and efficient. Safe and Secure Shopping.
They are not very good in services
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.

A little Disappointing.
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?

brilliant service great products
ordered delivered and used . As always fast and eficient service
good quality products for the diy audiophile
very good service
Hi, you supplied some plugs for me, very satisfied. I make my own mains cables, for my own use.
Good service, kept informed
Purchased Bluehorizon spike shoes. Happy with results they do their job well and improve the sound of my speakers at a reasonable price.
Can't believe the quality for the 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.
Excellent Product and Service
Linear Power Supply (Upgrade PSU) for Cambridge Audio DACMagic Plus.
These PSUs are hand-built, so can take a week or two to receive.
I specified the Kimber DC Cable as an upgrade to the PSU.
On receipt, even straight out of the box I can hear a difference, everything sounds more defined and "analogue". Also, low and high-freqencies are improved, bass is tighter and cymbals "ring" more naturally.
Cosmetically the quality is good too. The PSU was well-packed.
RRP for the above PSU with the cable upgrade is around £250, so not cheap, but I think it was worth it.
10 out of 10
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.
No-one could do better - MCRU is tops!
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.
Mains Cables-r-us comes highly Recommended.
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!
Excellent company and product
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.
quality+++
Very fast service and pleased with the results,Will use again for sure.!!!!
Simply the best customer service.
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.
Great service
The whole experience of dealing with Mains Cables-R-US was a delight.
Excellent service and quick delivery
I ordered the Isotek Ultimate System Set up Disc on line and received it in a few days.
I have since enquired by email about other products and received a reply during the same evening!
I will be returning to Mainscablesrus to buy!
