Supra LoRad (original) shielded mains cable
Supra spent over five years in research and development for
the new LoRad shielded mains cable, which has now been superceded
by the Mark 11 version.
.
The benefits of LoRad have been established for some time now - as the
cable is one of the few available worldwide that is fully CE approved.
The main benefit is the shielding which helps to ensure that other low level signal
cables are not affected by the close proximity of the LoRad mains cable - induced
RF interference has been one of the biggest bug-bears of high quality audio and
video reproduction and so by equipping one's hi-fi or AV system with LoRad, you
should both see and hear a difference.
LoRad is a CE-approved audio grade replacement mains cable and it
is available for home DIY'ers to terminate with their own choice of mains connectors
such as MK Toughplug, Schuko and IEC320 connectors.
You can also buy LoRad 1.5 as a factory terminated,
BS approved replacement UK > IEC mains leads.
